FANS paediatric pathway for inherited arrhthmias

The pathway is based on the HRS/EHRA/APHRS Expert Consensus Statement on the Diagnosis and Management of Patients with Inherited Primary Arrhythmia Syndromes.

The consensus statement is directed to all health care professionals who are involved in the management of:

1. Individuals who survived a cardiac arrest at a young age (usually defined as <40 years) in the absence of a clinical diagnosis of cardiac disease, despite extensive clinical assessment
2. Family members of individuals who died suddenly at young age with a negative autopsy
3. Patients and family members in whom the diagnosis of a channelopathy is clinically possible, likely, or established
4. Young patients with unexplained syncope.
