Review Description

Risk stratification for sudden death should be discussed with patients with congenital heart disease at each stage of personal and cardiac development. For most patients, risk is low through teenage years and the critical factors to consider are anatomy, ventricular function, and symptoms. By adulthood, these are supplemented by screening for atrial arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and pulmonary hypertension. Therapies include medication, ablation, and defibrillator placement.
