N2  - Lawley et al., 2022 1) reported on 22 adolescent patients who experienced ventricular arrhythmias during electronic gaming (e-gaming). While this information is novel, the conclusions appear to over-reach with, "electronic gaming can precipitate lethal cardiac arrhythmias in susceptible children." This semi-causal inference based on this highly selected sample cannot be justified with the available data and magnifies fear for children and parents and for CIED patients. E-gaming should not equal E-Fear!    1)  Lawley C.M. Tester M. Sanatani S. et al.
