简介
Background
Despite safety concerns, many young patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) participate in sports. We undertook a prospective, multinational registry to determine the incidence of serious adverse events because of sports participation. The primary end points were death or resuscitated arrest during sports or injury during sports because of arrhythmia or shock. Secondary end points included system malfunction and incidence of ventricular arrhythmias requiring multiple shocks for termination.
Methods
Athletes with ICDs aged ≤21 years were included in this post hoc subanalysis of the ICD Sports Registry. Data on sports and clinical outcomes were obtained by phone interview and medical records review. ICD shocks and clinical details of lead malfunction were classified by 2 electrophysiologists.

A total of 129 young athletes participating in competitive (n=117) or …
