This article focuses on sudden unexpected cardiac death (SCD) in children and adolescents. The authors discuss the epidemiology of SCD in children and adolescents, its incidence and etiologies, and strategies for prevention. Because most of the episodes of SCD or sudden cardiac arrest in children and adolescents occur in asymptomatic individuals unknown to have an underlying abnormality before their "event," the issues in this article primarily focus on this group of individuals.
本文聚焦于儿童和青少年的心源性猝死(SCD)。作者讨论了儿童和青少年SCD的流行病学、发病率、病因以及预防策略。由于儿童和青少年的大多数SCD或心脏骤停事件发生在“发病”前未被发现有潜在异常的无症状个体中,本文的问题主要集中在这一群体。
