These included complex ventricular ectopic beats, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, asystole, and second- and third-degree atrioventricular block.
Complications include deep phlebitis in the lower limbs, vasculitis, and ventricular ectopic beats during the procedure.
The large majority of patients had ventricular ectopic beats on screening electrocardiograms.
Sinus bradycardia and similar dysrhythmias are common in young athletes and, like non-exercise-induced ectopic beats, are not a basis for restriction in asymptomatic patients without structural heart disease.
