This is a case of a 14-year-old adolescent boy with a history of exercise-induced syncope who presents in status epilepticus after collapsing while running. On subsequent exercise stress testing, he was noted to develop runs of ventricular tachycardia, consistent with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. This case highlights the importance of cardiac evaluation in athletes with syncope, and also, understanding all therapeutic effects of medications.
