Swimming-triggered aborted sudden cardiac death in a patient with Andersen–Tawil syndrome

In this report we describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who experienced an episode of near drowning during recreational swimming. A diagnosis of Andersen–Tawil syndrome was made based on the patientʹs dysmorphic features, characteristic T–U-wave patterns and ventricular arrhythmias. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a swimming-triggered cardiac event in a patient with Andersen–Tawil syndrome.
