Abstract
Sudden cardiac death of a young athlete has a tremendous impact on the public attentiveness and the medical community as well, because it is hardly acceptable that trained and healthy individuals might die suddenly. Over the last years, questions have arisen on whether this occurrence could be prevented by a proper medical screening. This article deals with some aspects of ECG-implementation in preparticipation screening protocols.File in questo prodotto:
