ResumoRecommendations for the management of patients with certain arrhythmogenic cardiac conditions include restriction from strenuous activities and competitive sports.1 Emotional stress has also been demonstrated as a trigger for arrhythmias in susceptible individuals.2 Currently, there are no guidelines for engaging in nonphysical adrenergic activities. We present 2 cases of syncope and documented life-threatening ventricular tachycardia associated with strong emotional responses related to video war games.
