DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY – RISK STRATIFICATIONOF A CLINICAL –LABORATORY INDEX
Dependent on:
1) Incidence of the “disease” examined and the
population investigated
2) The “special characteristics” of the disease
which need to be revealed by the marker

SCD INCIDENCE IN YOUNG ATHLETES
SCD INCIDENCE IN YOUNG ATHLETES (2)
• From 1996 through 2016, 11,168 adolescentathletes were screened with a mean (±SD) age of16.4±1.2 years (95% of whom were male) in theEnglish Football Association (FA) cardiacscreening program.
• Preparticipation screening consisted of a healthquestionnaire, physical examination,electrocardiography, and echocardiography.
• Incidence of sudden cardiac death was 1 per14,794 person-years, or 6.8 per 100,000athletes.
Corrado D JACC 2003
Young athletes are atincreased risk of SCDcompared with theirsedentary counterpart:as shown by theprospective clinico-pathologic study of theVeneto region of Italy, theincidence of fatal eventsamong young competitiveathletes is 2.8-fold highercompared with age-matched non-athletes
EPIDEMIOLOGY BASED ON AUTOPSY SERIES
• Age--
• 9% in middle school
• 62% in high school
• 22% in college
• 7% in professional
• Sex—90% male, 10%
female
• Caucasians at highest risk

SCD incidence
in Young Athletes (Summary)
• Incidence is approximately 1/50,000
• Epidemiology highly dependable on sport discipline, race, gender, AGE and country-methodology of study.
• Mean age at death in athletes 23 years-old
• 40% deaths in athletes aged < 18 years old
• More common in males than females (9:1)
• 90% deaths during or immediately after exertion

• Low incidence of sudden cardiac death
• High number of false positives
• Concerns relating to false negatives
• Cost
• Other issues
CONCERNS ABOUT ECGAND SCD RISK STRATIFICATION IN ATHLETES
NEW TRENDS IN SCD RISK STRATIFICATION IN ATHLETES
SCD risk stratification and
ECG in Young Athletes (1)
• SCD in athletes ranges from 1 to 3/50,000 depending on demographic characteristics.
• ECG a useful, complimentary tool to diagnose or increase suspicion over cardiomyopathies, channelopathies and life threatening rhythm disorders.
• However, things are not always “crystal clear”
SCD risk stratification and ECG
in Young Athletes (2)
• What seems normal is not always normal!!
• Be careful with teenagers!! Mood is not the only thing to change in that age!!
• Careful and continuous follow up of young athletes- early signs of cardiomyopathy or channelopathy.
• What seems pathologic is not always pathologic!!
• Focus not only on HOW but also on WHAT to search for.
• Change in Policy: ECG and preparticipation screening are good but an EAD and a bystander knowing CPR are better!!
Thank you for your attention!!
