Daughter (16 yrs old) diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome .. ECG averaged @ 470 .. genetic test shows she has LQTS1 and confirms ECG findings ... Inherited from me (her father - 52 yrs old) which also shows ECG swings slightly lower than my daughter (also taking a blood test, including rest of family, for genetic determination) . I'm otherwise healthy... never fainted & no one else in family history has had any heart episodes ... I have played & continue to play sports, jog, lift weights,swim & exercise. My daughter has played competitive soccer (goal-keeper) for 11 years, some basketball, swims and jogs. She is active & has never had any fainting episodes or heart issues. My question is -> Can doctor's recommendation to avoid all competitve sports be to restrictive given she's a goal-keeper & not a field player - she's been put on a beta-blocker? She is depressed about not playing & I'm concerned that her emotional stress doesn't cause other problems. I'm confused as some of the other receational sports - softball, tennis (doubles) & volleyball are considered sports actvities she can play. Not sure what to do?
