Abstract
Youth and adult participation in sports continues to increase, and athletes may be diagnosed with potentially arrhythmogenic cardiac conditions. This international multidisciplinary document is intended to guide electrophysiologists, sports cardiologists, and associated health care team members in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of arrhythmic conditions in the athlete with the goal of facilitating return to sport and avoiding the harm caused by restriction. Expert, disease-specific risk assessment in the context of athlete symptoms and diagnoses is emphasized throughout the document. After appropriate risk assessment, management of arrhythmias geared toward return to play when possible is addressed. Other topics include shared decision-making and emergency action planning. The goal of this document is to provide evidence-based recommendations impacting all areas in the care of athletes with arrhythmic conditions. Areas in need of further study are also discussed.

Abstract
Background Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), such as permanent pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, alleviate morbidity and mortality in various diseases. There is a paucity of real-world data on CIED complications and trends. Objectives We sought to describe trends in noninfectious CIED complications over the past 3 decades in Olmsted County. Methods The Rochester Epidemiology Project is a medical records linkage system comprising records of over 500,000 residents of Olmsted County from 1966 to present. CIED implantations between 1988 and 2018 were determined. Trends in noninfectious complications within 30 days of implantation were analyzed. Results A total of 157 (6.2%) of 2536 patients who received CIED experienced device complications. A total of 2.7% of the implants had major complications requiring intervention. Lead dislodgement was the most common (2.8%), followed by hematoma (1.7%). Complications went up from 1988 to 2005, and then showed a downtrend until 2018, driven by a decline in hematomas in the last decade (P < .01). Those with complications were more likely to have prosthetic valves. Obesity appeared to have a protective effect in a multivariate regression model. The mean Charlson comorbidity index has trended up over the 30 years. Conclusion Our study describes a real-world trend of CIED complications over 3 decades. Lead dislodgements and hematomas were the most common complications. Complications have declined over the last decade due to safer practices and a better understanding of anticoagulant management.

Functional and clinical characterization of a novel homozygous KCNH2 missense variant in the pore region of Kv11.1 leading to a viable but severe long-QT syndrome. Gene 2024; 897:148076. [PMID: 38086455 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.148076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Among KCNH2 missense loss of function (LOF) variants, homozygosity -at any position in the Kv11.1/hERG channel - is very rare and generally leads to intrauterine death, while heterozygous variants in the pore are responsible for severe Type 2 long-QT syndrome (LQTS). We report a novel homozygous p.Gly603Ser missense variant in the pore of Kv11.1/hERG (KCNH2 c.1807G > A) discovered in the context of a severe LQTS. METHODS We carried out a phenotypic family study combined with a functional analysis of mutated and wild-type (WT) Kv11.1 by two-electrode voltage-clamp using the Xenopus laevis oocyte heterologous expression system. RESULTS The variant resulted in a severe LQTS phenotype (very prolonged corrected QT interval, T-wave alternans, multiple Torsades de pointes) with a delayed clinical expression in later childhood in the homozygous state, and in a Type 2 LQTS phenotype in the heterozygous state. Expression of KCNH2 p.Gly603Ser cRNA alone elicited detectable current in Xenopus oocytes. Inactivation kinetics and voltage dependence of activation were not significantly affected by the variant. The macroscopic slope conductance of the variant was three-fold less compared to the WT (18.5 ± 9.01 vs 54.7 ± 17.2 μS, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We characterized the novel p.Gly603Ser KCNH2 missense LOF variant in the pore region of Kv11.1/hERG leading to a severe but viable LQTS in the homozygous state and an attenuated Type 2 LQTS in heterozygous carriers. To our knowledge we provide the first description of a homozygous variant in the pore-forming region of Kv11.1 with a functional impact but a delayed clinical expression.

Risk Prediction in Male Adolescents With Congenital Long QT Syndrome: Implications for Sex-Specific Risk Stratification in Potassium Channel-Mediated Long QT Syndrome. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e028902.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sex-specific risk management may improve outcomes in congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). We recently developed a prediction score for cardiac events (CEs) and life-threatening events (LTEs) in postadolescent women with LQTS. In the present study, we aimed to develop personalized risk estimates for the burden of CEs and LTEs in male adolescents with potassium channel-mediated LQTS. METHODS AND RESULTS The prognostic model was derived from the LQTS Registry headquartered in Rochester, NY, comprising 611 LQT1 or LQT2 male adolescents from age 10 through 20 years, using the following variables: genotype/mutation location, QTc-specific thresholds, history of syncope, and β-blocker therapy. Anderson-Gill modeling was performed for the end point of CE burden (total number of syncope, aborted cardiac arrest, and appropriate defibrillator shocks). The applicability of the CE prediction model was tested for the end point of the first LTE (excluding syncope and adding sudden cardiac death) using Cox modeling. A total of 270 CEs occurred during follow-up. The genotype-phenotype risk prediction model identified low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, comprising 74%, 14%, and 12% of the study population, respectively. Compared with the low-risk group, high-risk male subjects experienced a pronounced 5.2-fold increased risk of recurrent CEs (P<0.001), whereas intermediate-risk patients had a 2.1-fold (P=0.004) increased risk . At age 20 years, the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk adolescent male patients had on average 0.3, 0.6, and 1.4 CEs per person, respectively. Corresponding 10-year adjusted probabilities for a first LTE were 2%, 6%, and 8%. CONCLUSIONS Personalized genotype-phenotype risk estimates can be used to guide sex-specific management in male adolescents with potassium channel-mediated LQTS.

Abstract
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening, but highly treatable genetic heart disease. LQTS-directed therapies often consist of beta-blockers (BBs), left cardiac sympathetic denervation (LCSD), and/or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). However, in clinical practice, many patient-specific and genotype-directed permutations exist. Herein, we aim to review the spectrum of treatment configurations utilized at a single, tertiary center specializing in the care of patients with LQTS to demonstrate optimal LQTS-directed management is not amenable to a "one-size-fits-all" approach but instead benefits from patient- and genotype-tailored strategies.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children is a devastating event, often linked to primary electrical diseases (PED) of the heart. PEDs, often referred to as channelopathies, are a group of genetic disorders that disrupt the normal ion channel function in cardiac cells, leading to arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. This paper investigates the unique challenges of risk assessment and stratification for channelopathy-related SCD in pediatric patients-Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, long QT syndrome, Anderson-Tawil syndrome, short QT syndrome, and early repolarization syndrome. We explore the intricate interplay of genetic, clinical, and electrophysiological factors that contribute to the complex nature of these conditions. Recognizing the significance of early identification and tailored management, this paper underscores the need for a comprehensive risk stratification approach specifically designed for pediatric populations. By integrating genetic testing, family history, and advanced electrophysiological evaluation, clinicians can enhance their ability to identify children at the highest risk for SCD, ultimately paving the way for more effective preventive strategies and improved outcomes in this vulnerable patient group.

Abstract
Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) is a potentially life-threatening yet highly treatable inherited cardiac channelopathy. When evaluating these patients, it is important to consider patient-specific as well as genotype-specific factors in order to adequately encompass the many nuances to care that exist in its management. The tendency to follow a "one-size-fits-all" approach needs to be replaced by treatment strategies that embrace the unique considerations of the individual patient in the context of their genotype. Herein, the authors aim to review the spectrum of LQTS, including the considerations when tailoring a personalized, genotype-tailored treatment program for a patient's LQTS.

Abstract
Diagnosis and risk stratification of rare genetic heart diseases remains clinically challenging. In many cases, there are few data and insufficient numbers to support randomized controlled trials. While implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) use is vital to protect higher-risk individuals from life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, low-risk individuals also require protection from unnecessary ICDs and their associated complications. Once an ICD has been implanted, appropriate device programming is essential to ensure maximal protection while balancing the risks of inappropriate therapy.

Abstract
Introduction While pacing has been used for long QT syndrome (LQTs), the optimal pacing modality is controversial. Case We report a woman with bradycardia and a recently implanted single-chamber pacemaker experienced multiple syncope. No device dysfunction was found. Multiple Torsade de Pointes (TdP) induced by the bigeminy result from retrograde ventriculoatrial (VA) activation in VVI pacing were demonstrated in the scenario of previously unidentified LQTs. Replacement for a dual-chamber ICD and intentional atrial pacing eliminated the VA conduction and symptoms. Conclusion Pacing without atrioventricular sequence might be catastrophic in LQTs. Atrial pacing and atrioventricular synchrony should be highlighted.

Abstract
Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) encompasses a group of heritable conditions that are associated with cardiac repolarization dysfunction. Since its initial description in 1957, our understanding of LQTS has increased dramatically. The prevalence of LQTS is estimated to be ∼1:2,000, with a slight female predominance. The diagnosis of LQTS is based on clinical, electrocardiogram, and genetic factors. Risk stratification of patients with LQTS aims to identify those who are at increased risk of cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death. Factors including age, sex, QTc interval, and genetic background all contribute to current risk stratification paradigms. The management of LQTS involves conservative measures such as the avoidance of QT-prolonging drugs, pharmacologic measures with nonselective β-blockers, and interventional approaches such as device therapy or left cardiac sympathetic denervation. In general, most forms of exercise are considered safe in adequately treated patients, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy is reserved for those at the highest risk. This review summarizes our current understanding of LQTS and provides clinicians with a practical approach to diagnosis and management.

Abstract
In view of the increasing complexity of both cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and patients in the current era, practice guidelines, by necessity, have become increasingly specific. This document is an expert consensus statement that has been developed to update and further delineate indications and management of CIEDs in pediatric patients, defined as ≤21 years of age, and is intended to focus primarily on the indications for CIEDs in the setting of specific disease categories. The document also highlights variations between previously published adult and pediatric CIED recommendations and provides rationale for underlying important differences. The document addresses some of the deterrents to CIED access in low- and middle-income countries and strategies to circumvent them. The document sections were divided up and drafted by the writing committee members according to their expertise. The recommendations represent the consensus opinion of the entire writing committee, graded by class of recommendation and level of evidence. Several questions addressed in this document either do not lend themselves to clinical trials or are rare disease entities, and in these instances recommendations are based on consensus expert opinion. Furthermore, specific recommendations, even when supported by substantial data, do not replace the need for clinical judgment and patient-specific decision-making. The recommendations were opened for public comment to Pediatric and Congenital Electrophysiology Society (PACES) members and underwent external review by the scientific and clinical document committee of the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), the science advisory and coordinating committee of the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC), and the Association for European Paediatric and Congenital Cardiology (AEPC). The document received endorsement by all the collaborators and the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS), the Indian Heart Rhythm Society (IHRS), and the Latin American Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS). This document is expected to provide support for clinicians and patients to allow for appropriate CIED use, appropriate CIED management, and appropriate CIED follow-up in pediatric patients.

Abstract
Guidelines for the implantation of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) have evolved since publication of the initial ACC/AHA pacemaker guidelines in 1984 [1]. CIEDs have evolved to include novel forms of cardiac pacing, the development of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and the introduction of devices for long term monitoring of heart rhythm and other physiologic parameters. In view of the increasing complexity of both devices and patients, practice guidelines, by necessity, have become increasingly specific. In 2018, the ACC/AHA/HRS published Guidelines on the Evaluation and Management of Patients with Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay [2], which were specific recommendations for patients >18 years of age. This age-specific threshold was established in view of the differing indications for CIEDs in young patients as well as size-specific technology factors. Therefore, the following document was developed to update and further delineate indications for the use and management of CIEDs in pediatric patients, defined as ≤21 years of age, with recognition that there is often overlap in the care of patents between 18 and 21 years of age. This document is an abbreviated expert consensus statement (ECS) intended to focus primarily on the indications for CIEDs in the setting of specific disease/diagnostic categories. This document will also provide guidance regarding the management of lead systems and follow-up evaluation for pediatric patients with CIEDs. The recommendations are presented in an abbreviated modular format, with each section including the complete table of recommendations along with a brief synopsis of supportive text and select references to provide some context for the recommendations. This document is not intended to provide an exhaustive discussion of the basis for each of the recommendations, which are further addressed in the comprehensive PACES-CIED document [3], with further data easily accessible in electronic searches or textbooks.
