Pediheart Podcast #226: Life-Threatening Arrhythmias And Cardiac Arrest Associated With Electronic Gaming

This week we review a recent international review on the topic of life threatening events occurring during electronic gaming. What risks do video games pose for the typical child or child with an arrhythmia condition? What precautions, if any, should be considered? Are there some sorts of games that are potentially more dangerous than others? We speak with the first and senior authors of this international survey - Dr. Claire M. Lawley of Great Ormand Street, London and Dr. Christian Turner of Sydney Children's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hrthm.2022.08.003.
