Nationwide Study of Sudden Cardiac Death in People With Congenital Heart Defects Aged 0 to 35 Years [Original Articles]

Conclusions:
The proportion of SCD-CHD in the young was 11%, which is higher than previously reported. Physical activity–related SCD-CHD was a rare event among patients with CHD. We observed an 4-fold lower incidence of SCD-CHD among infants born after implementation of nationwide screening.
