Description

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a young athlete is an infrequent yet devastating event. Clinicians need to know the most current protocols for pre-athletic participation screening which are necessary to refine the detection of silent cardiovascular diseases that predispose young individuals to sudden cardiac death.

At the conclusion of this session, the participant should be able to:
-    Utilize ECG in routine screening of student athletes.
-    Employ advanced cardiac imaging in those with abnormal ECGs.
