dc.description.abstractAlthough some European and international experts recommend that all athletes undergo preparticipation electrocardiogram (EKG) screening, it's unclear whether screening reduces the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD); US experts don't recommend it routinely for school-aged athletes (strength of recommendation [SOR]:C, observational studies and expert opinion). However, further cardiac work-up, including EKG, is indicated if concern exists about increased cardiovascular risk (SOR: C, expert opinion).eng
