A member asked:
I have a pre-standing long qt interval (heart). is is safe to be inside an indoor ice arena where co, nitrogen dioxide (no2), etc. present in air?

Prolonged qt: The most important precaution in the prolonged qt syndrome is to avoid a host of medications and probably some supplements that can precipitate dangerous ventricular cardiac dysrhythmias. Don't take anything without the advice of your pharmacist or cardiologist. I'm not aware of the ambient air playing a role in precipitating a dysrhythmia.
