Pediheart Podcast #202: Can SVT Be A Cause Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest In Children?

This week we review a recent work from the team at NY Presbyterian on SVT and a possible role it may rarely play in sudden cardiac arrest in children. When a patient does not have an obvious cause of arrest, is SVT a possible etiology and should invasive EP testing be considered?
