Pediheart Podcast #83: Clinical Presentation of Pediatric Patients at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Arrest




Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week's episode is co-branded with SADS.ORG and we review a paper on the clinical presentation of those who have conditions associated with sudden cardiac death. Are there questions about the patient and family history and physical examination signs that can improve the identification of those at risk before an event of cardiac arrest? We review this important question and others with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Aarti Dalal.
