Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young

心脏性猝死（SCD）是许多心脏病的悲惨后果。死亡往往是意外的，对家庭和社区有重大影响。这项为期3年的研究旨在评估澳大利亚家庭中SCD发生在年轻亲属（1-35岁）中的临床，遗传和长期结局。这项研究将改善家庭的临床和遗传评估，从而产生有针对性的管理策略，最终目标是预防SCD。

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a tragic consequence of a number of heart diseases. The death is often unexpected and has major implications for the family and community. This 3-year study seeks to evaluate clinical, genetic, and long-term outcomes in Australian families where SCD has occurred in a young relative (aged 1-35 years). This study will improve clinical and genetic evaluation of families, resulting in targeted management strategies, with the ultimate goal to prevent SCD.
