This protocol addresses restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) in the paediatric population when the child presents with concurrent evidence of myocardial ischaemia and episodes of syncope — a high-risk combination that warrants specific intervention beyond standard supportive care.
In this specific situation, the evidence supports consideration of a device-based implantable intervention to reduce the risk of life-threatening arrhythmic events.
