A population-based prospective evaluation of risk of sudden cardiac death after operation for common congenital heart defects
TLDR
The risk of late sudden death for patients surviving operation for common congenital heart defects is 25 to 100 times greater than an age-matched control population.About:

TL;DR: Sudden death in young competitive athletes usually is precipitated by physical activity and may be due to a heterogeneous spectrum of cardiovascular disease, most commonly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: Among patients with surgically repaired tetralogy of Fallot, the rate of long-term survival after the postoperative period is excellent but remains lower than that in the general population.

TL;DR: The incidence of sudden death in a local community-based population is low and suggests that electrophysiological testing should not be performed routinely in asymptomatic patients with WPW syndrome, Nevertheless, young, asymPTomatic patients, particularly those <40 years old, should return for medical follow-up should symptoms develop.

TL;DR: Patients with QTc of more than 0.60 are at particularly high risk for sudden death, and if treatment is not effective, consideration should be given to cardiac sympathetic denervation, pacemaker implantation, and perhaps implantation of a defibrillator.
