Abstract excerpt

Aims: To determine the incidence and the causes of sudden death (SD) in persons aged 1-35 years old and the diagnostic yield of clinically guided genetic screening in the sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) victims' families. Methods and results: Incidence and causes of SD in the Attica region of Greece in 2002-10 were determined using death certificates and autopsy reports. We evaluated clinically...
