Risk of sudden cardiac death in young athletes: which screening strategies are appropriate?
Pediatr Clin North Am.
2004 Oct.
Abstract
Resources are not available to comprehensively evaluate all young athletes before participation in competitive sports. Therefore, the cardiovascular evaluation of young athletes needs to be targeted at high-risk areas and focus on the individuals who are at greatest possible risk: those who have suggestive, even if minor, symptoms, and those who have a family history of sudden death or premature cardiac disease.
