儿童与青少年心脏性猝死的病因和预防

Causes and Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Children and Adolescents

儿童与青少年心脏性猝死(SCD)的研究尚处于发展阶段,SCD相关的症状多缺乏特异性,在致死性事件发作前,很多SCD患者并无临床症状,体格检查及静息心电图有可能正常,这使得辨别高危个体极为困难。因此,及早明确儿童与青少年猝死的病因及筛查辨识是目前儿科心血管领域的研究热点,现就儿童与青少年SCD的病因与筛查辨识方法进行综述。

The study of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in children and adolescents is still in the stage of development. The symptoms associated with SCD are lack of specificity.Many SCD patients have no clinical symptoms before the onset of fatal events,and the physical examination and resting electrocardiogram may be normal. This makes it extremely difficult to identify high-risk individuals. Therefore, early identification of the causes and screening identification of sudden death in children and adolescents is currently a research hotspot in the pediatric cardiovascular field. This article reviews the etiology and screening identification methods of SCD in children and adolescents.
