The annual incidence of sudden cardiac death in young athletes is approximately 1 in 200,000. The most common causes include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy. These genetic disorders typically manifest in the second decade of life and have the potential for sudden death as the first symptom. Medical care providers must be aware of these disease entities when evaluating patients with seizures, syncope, and/or palpitations. The purpose of this article is to describe their genetics, clinical presentation, and diagnosis.
年轻运动员心源性猝死的年发病率约为二十万分之一。最常见的病因包括肥厚型心肌病和致心律失常性右室发育不良/心肌病。这些遗传性疾病通常在生命的第二个十年出现，并且有可能以猝死作为首发症状。医疗服务提供者在评估癫痫、晕厥和/或心悸患者时必须了解这些疾病实体。本文的目的是描述它们的遗传学、临床表现和诊断。
