Sudden cardiac death is a major tragedy in young people. In approximately one third of such cases, no cause of death is found at autopsy. This study will investigate the causes of sudden cardiac death in the young, with a specific emphasis on the underlying genetic causes of sudden unexplained death. This information will be used for screening surviving family relatives, thereby improving both diagnostic and treatment-prevention opportunities and reducing sudden cardiac death in our community.

心源性猝死是年轻人的一大悲剧。在大约三分之一的这类案件中，尸检时没有发现死因。这项研究将调查年轻人心源性猝死的原因，特别强调原因不明猝死的潜在遗传原因。这些信息将用于筛查幸存的家庭亲属，从而改善诊断和治疗预防机会，并减少我们社区的心脏性猝死。
