Abstract
Congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) results in abnormal ventricular repolarization in patients with otherwise structurally normal hearts. Following the initial clinical descriptions of LQTS, there has been a great deal of investigation into the genetic etiology and pathophysiology of these entities, with the goal of improved screening tools and understanding of associated risks. Through this work, heart rhythm experts continue to revise their recommendations regarding sports eligibility. We review the evolution of sports participation recommendations for LQTS.
