Does sports participation increase risk in patients with long QT syndrome? Results from a large French cohort.

Aims: Sports practice, especially in competition, is usually restrained in patients diagnosed with long QT syndrome (LQTS). Although data are scarce, a low incidence of cardiac arrhythmic events (CAEs) during sports practice is reported. We aim to evaluate the incidence of CAE during sports practice in LQTS patients.

Age at diagnosis of Brugada syndrome: Influence on clinical characteristics and risk of arrhythmia.

Background: Despite a strong genetic background, Brugada syndrome (BrS) mainly affects middle-age patients. Data are scarce in the youngest and oldest age groups.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and variations in rhythmic risk in BrS patients according to age.
