Acute auditory stimuli and swimming activities are frequently associated with syncope, aborted cardiac arrest, and death in the long QT syndrome (LQTS). We investigated the clinical and genetic findings associated with cardiac events precipitated by these arousal factors. The study population involved 195 patients with an index cardiac event associated with a loud noise (n = 77) or swimming activity (n = 118)....
