Video Summary
A 21-year-old man worries about his risk of sudden death after his twin brother died unexpectedly, with an unremarkable autopsy and no medical history or symptoms in the family, except for a sister who died from SIDS. Appropriate tests for him include an electrocardiogram, a transthoracic echocardiogram, exercise stress testing without imaging, and genetic testing based on exam and non-invasive testing results. However, an electrophysiology study with programmed electrical stimulation is not appropriate at this stage.
