This article examines the role of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia in causing sudden death in young competitive athletes and suggests a prevention strategy based on identification of affected athletes at preparticipation screening. Systematic cardiovascular screening (including 12-lead ECG) of all subjects embarking on sports activity has the potential to identify those athletes at risk and to reduce mortality.

Abstract

This article examines the role of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia in causing sudden death in young competitive athletes and suggests a prevention strategy based on identification of affected athletes at preparticipation screening. Systematic cardiovascular screening (including 12-lead ECG) of all subjects embarking on sports activity has the potential to identify those athletes at risk and to reduce mortality.
