Screening for sudden death in the athlete

Abram Mozes et al. Cardiovasc Pathol. 2010 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Sudden death in the athlete is a rare occurrence, yet there is evidence that screening may reduce this tragedy. Pre-participation screening programs differ between the United States and Italy. The causes of sudden death in this young, athletic population are reviewed, as are each program's merits and pitfalls.
