چکیده انگلیسی
In the present review, we summarize current approaches to the prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children and young adults, focusing on age < 35 years. SCD in the young is rare, but devastating from the societal perspective. While coronary artery disease is the main etiology of SCD in the older age groups, conditions such as cardiomyopathies and electrical channelopathies are more likely to be found in the young. In the majority of younger cases, cardiac arrest can be the first recognized manifestation of the underlying cardiac pathology, although some have experienced cardiovascular symptoms prior to the SCD. Since identification of a cardiac disease is pivotal for implementation of appropriate prevention, measures such as electrocardiographic screening in subpopulations such as athletes have been proposed. However, these efforts are impeded by the large number of individuals needed to test in order to find one with cardiac disease, leading to significant rates of false positive findings and high costs. When a high-risk cardiac condition is identified in a young person, measures of lifestyle modification, appropriate medical treatment and ICD implantation in selected individuals based on risk stratification are warranted. Nevertheless, the benefits of lifelong ICD therapy need to be balanced with long-term complications and quality of life.
