Acute effects of noise on blood pressure and heart rate as well as brain stress. Long QT Syndrome (LQTS), is a life-threatening disorder that can be triggered by a loud noise. LQTS is estimated to cause as many as 3,000 deaths in the U.S. each year – mostly in children and young adults – says the founder of the Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndromes Foundation (www.sads.org).
