- Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases are important causes of sudden death in children. Cardiac and vascular structural,functional abnormalities and electrophysiological changes including congenital heart disease,cardiomyopathy,ion channel disease, myocarditis, hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and coronary artery diseases all perhaps lead to sudden death. Identifying these diseases in time will be helpful for recognizing children at risk of sudden death and differential diagnosis of successful resuscitated children,so as to ultimately reduce the risk of sudden death of the patients and the families.
