The sudden death of anyone is a tragic event, but even more so a child, particularly when it comes completely unexpectedly. We've all seen stories in the papers or even been involved in caring for these young people. In this podcast Harshil Dhutia talks about the common causes fo sudden cardiac death, and gives a roadmap for the investigation of young people with worrying symptoms and ongoing care for their families.
