To the Editor:
In the multidisciplinary approach of sudden cardiac
death, it is necessary for every professional to do
his/her specific work for accomplishing the complex
gear of prevention. In the case of the histopathological
study, it is important to approach the diagnosis
to the maximum for facilitating the subsequent
family cardiac study. Clinical studies that are offered
to first-degree relatives are determined by the classification
of the index case, and results are complemented
by those of the conducted genetic tests
(ideally) in blood obtained from the index case and,
failing that, in the blood of a relative affected by the
phenotype.
