    Typically it has been described associated to supraventricular tachycardia, secondary to a ventricular pre-excitation syndrome such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which results from the presence of an accessory atrioventricular conducting pathway.80,87 There are few case reports in which supraventricular or ventricular (or both) arrhythmias lead to ventricular fibrillation or heart failure and death.84,88,89 The second scenario is caused by large lesions that obstruct cardiac output and might also be responsible for cardio-embolic disease90; death owing to cardiac failure might also occur at the end of the first decade of life.91

    Finally, cardiac pathologic features are common when sudden death occurs in an infant who was awake at the time of death. The spectrum of cardiac pathologic features found at autopsy in our series is representative of the various causes of sudden death in infants and children outlined in numerous reports.10-35 A notable addition to this list would be our two cases of massive hemopericardium secondary to spontaneous rupture of an arteriovenous malformation of coronary vessels in the posterior atrioventricular groove.
