Vigorous exercise does not increase long QTS-associated cardiac event rate
The data could help inform decision making on participating in vigorous exercise, authors say.
In patients with congenital long-QT syndrome, the rate of cardiac events associated with long-QT syndrome was low and did not differ between those exercising vigorously or non-vigorously, according to a US study.
Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut enrolled individuals aged 8-60 with phenotypic or genotypic long-QT syndrome (LQTS).
