Article Synopsis
- The study examined the incidence of sports-related sudden cardiac arrest and death (SCA/D) in children aged 8-15 and the potential benefits of cardiovascular preparticipation screening (PPS) over a 10-year period in Italy.
- It found that both athletes and non-athletes had a similar incidence of SCA/D, with higher rates occurring in children aged 12 years and older and highlighted that PPS identified a small number of cardiovascular diseases at risk for SCA/D.
- The findings suggest that systematic cardiovascular screenings may be more beneficial for children aged 12 and older to help better identify those at risk for these serious events.
