N2 - Objectives: We aimed to identify risk factors for recurrent syncope in children and adolescents with congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). Background: Data regarding risk assessment in LQTS after the occurrence of the first syncope episode are limited. Methods: The Prentice-Williams-Peterson conditional gap time model was used to identify risk factors for recurrent syncope from birth through age 20 years among 1,648 patients from the International Long QT Syndrome Registry. Results: Multivariate analysis demonstrated that corrected QT interval (QTc) duration (
