Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of mortality in athletes during sport. A variety mostly hereditary, structural or electrical disorders are associated with SCD young athletes, majority which can be identified suggested by abnormalities on a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG). Whether used for diagnostic screening purposes, physicians responsible cardiovascular care should knowledgeable and competent ECG interpretation athletes. However, most countries shortage physician...

BACKGROUND: Understanding the incidence, causes, and trends of sudden cardiac death (SCD) among young competitive athletes is critical to inform preventive policies. METHODS: This study included National Collegiate Athletic Association athlete deaths during a 20-year time frame (July 1, 2002, through June 30, 2022). Athlete were identified 4 separate independent databases search strategies (National resolutions list, Parent Heart Watch database media reports, Center for Catastrophic Sports...

The pathogenesis of sudden cardiac death in college athletes has not been defined by systematic case identification.A total 45 cases were identified National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) from 2004 to 2008 based on an internal reporting system and review media reports. Autopsy reports reviewed adjudicated a multidisciplinary panel. Cause could be reasonably determined 36 cases; 3 had no autopsy, 5 autopsy obtained, 1 insufficient information determine cause death. most common...
