The Influence of Arrhythmia on the Outcomes of Pediatric Patients with Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

Children diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are at an increased risk of developing arrhythmias, which can significantly affect their overall prognosis. However, the implantation and effectiveness of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) pose challenges in the pediatric population. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the prevalence of arrhythmia-related death in pediatric patients with DCM.
