Sudden cardiac death in children and young people is a rare but devastating event, often associated with underlying cardiac conditions that may go unrecognised. Early identification of risk factors and clinical features is essential to improving outcomes and reducing preventable deaths.
This evening webinar brings together experts in paediatric cardiology to explore the causes of sudden cardiac death, including cardiomyopathies and inherited arrhythmias. Through expert-led talks and interactive discussion, this session offers practical insight into recognising high-risk conditions and understanding how clinicians can respond effectively in practice.
