Why the study?
Diverse causes of long QT syndrome complicate differential diagnosis, often leaving it overlooked by sports medicine physicians and necessitating non-invasive screening methods.
Highlights the importance of non-invasive screening for QT variability to improve the differential diagnosis of long QT syndrome in athletes.
LQTS under-recognition in athletes warrants diagnostic caution; leaves open whether non-invasive screening should become standard.
This review provides detailed data on the diagnosis, prevalence, classification, and etiology. The variety of causes leading to long QT syndrome (LQTS) creates difficulties in the differential diagnosis of this condition and, as a result, LQTS often remains outside the sports medicine physicians’ attention. As a result, it is necessary to introduce non-invasive screening methods for studying the cardiac electrophysiological characteristics and select high-risk groups.
