What types of therapies for ADHD are safe in patients with congenital LQTS?

Because these drugs are not tested in LQTS patients and because there are multiple forms of LQTS, it is not possible to say that any drug is “absolutely safe.” There is no evidence to suggest that any of the current pharmaceutical therapies for ADHD are risk-free for patients with congenital LQTS. Many of these agents are adrenergic stimulants and are presumed to be potentially dangerous.
