Sudden cardiac death in young individuals and athletes occurs unexpectedly during vigorous exertion, prompting an investigation of victims in the Veneto region to explore its genetic basis.
Discusses the investigation of sudden cardiac death in young athletes in the Veneto region.
Requires heightened monitoring of young athletes during vigorous activity; leaves open genetic factors for targeted prevention research.
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young and the athletes is a devastating event. It occurs unexpectedly in apparently healthy people, often during maximal, vigorous cardiac performance. In 1980 we observed a series of cases and perceived that an investigation covering all the victims in the Veneto
