Points of Controversy
| LCSD should be considered if beta-blocker use is not possible in a person with moderate-risk LQTS. |
| An ICD could be avoided in a patient with LQTS type 1 and QTc > 550 ms unless symptoms occur on beta-blocker. |
| A selective beta-blocker could be used if a non-selective beta-blocker was not tolerated in a patient with high-risk LQTS. |
