Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia and sudden death during electronic gaming: An international case series and systematic review
Rhythm Journal ^

Posted on 10/13/2022 7:56:10 PM PDT by MNDude

Twenty-two patients (18 in the case series and 4 via systematic review; aged 7–16 years; 19 males [86%]) were identified as having experienced suspected or proven ventricular arrhythmia during electronic gaming; 6 (27%) had experienced cardiac arrest, and 4 (18%) died suddenly. A proarrhythmic cardiac diagnosis was known in 7 (31%) patients before their gaming event and was established afterward in 12 (54%). Ten patients (45%) had catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, 4 (18%) had long QT syndrome, 2 (9%) were post–congenital cardiac surgery, 2 (9%) had “idiopathic” ventricular fibrillation, and 1 (after Kawasaki disease) had coronary ischemia. In 3 patients (14%), including 2 who died, the diagnosis remains unknown. In 13 (59%) patients for whom the electronic game details were known, 8 (62%) were war games. Conclusion Electronic gaming can precipitate lethal cardiac arrhythmias in susceptible children. The incidence appears to be low, but syncope in this setting should be investigated thoroughly. In children with proarrhythmic cardiac conditions, electronic war games in particular are a potent arrhythmic trigger.

I have aortic regurgitation with an arrhythmia, and I game in my free time. Even when I was on dialysis and had chronic tachycardia (resting HR was 110), I never had a problem. I’ve been playing video games of some kind since I was four.

I did get migraines playing Brütal Legend, though. Shame, because the game had a great soundtrack, and I never got to finish it.

Agree entirely about the genesis of the arrhythmias.

I will say, however, that the design of the current vaccines was poorly thought out and destined to be as ineffective long-term as it has been. We could go back and forth for hours about why this is.

Catecholamines Are the Key Trigger of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine-Induced Myocarditis: A Compelling Hypothesis Supported by Epidemiological, Anatomopathological, Molecular, and Physiological Findings

If any if the 22 subjects were vaxxed, CoupFlu vaxx involvement needs to be ruled out.

Your minders at MI6 are sure to be pleased at your selfless diligence and cold-blooded condescension, especially late into the night, as here, when the purebloods freaks come out.

Look for a little something extra in this week’s foreign contractor check.

On a possibly vaxx-related note, from the UK...

A Covid baby boom? No, birth rate fell in countries with the longest lockdowns: Stress and fears for the future seen as possible reasons for fewer pregnancies

Comments there are worth the read, too.

Re: Covid baby boom?
Only anecdotal...but

The three female PAs assigned to me at Gastro and Hematology/Oncology all became pregnant and gave birth in the past 2 years. Both practices had fairly strict precautionary protocols in place. Had me wondering if there was a baby boom in the med professions.

Nature finds a way, eh? :-)

Congrats to the PAs!

For anyone interested, #PfizerGate is trending on Twitter.

On a likely vaxx-related note, from the UK...

NHS blood shortages could last for MONTHS due to lack of 'carers' to supervise appointments - despite 10,000 people signing up to donate in just 24 hours

So, if this is true, is it because of the vaxx mandate...

Or is this story a cover for a problem with the safety of a blood supply provided by vaxxed donors...

Re: 17 - I see you’re again offering comments that the “real”
FR FRoctors won’t like because it does not fit their narrative.

Be prepared to be schooled on this thread by the “medical experts”.

Not to mention that at least 3 of the cases are 2019 or prior.
