We report the case of a 12-year-old female patient with a history of four syncopal episodes related to exercise over 2 years and who showed prominent QTc prolongation on electrocardiogram; therefore, she was clinically diagnosed with long QT syndrome type-1. However, genetic analysis did not identify any LQT-related genes but showed a rare missense variant in the cardiac ryanodine receptor gene. From the results of drug-loading tests, administration of oral propranolol was initiated; thereafter, she experienced no syncopal episodes. This is a case report demonstrating the “overlapping clinical features” of long QT syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.
