Sudden cardiac death in the young.
This review summarizes the clinical aspects of sudden cardiac death in the pediatric population. The scope of the problem is defined by examining findings from autopsy series and from clinical series of survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Representative lesions from different etiological categories serve as discussion points.
