Sudden Death in Young Athletes
Abstract
This article summarizes the available information regarding the cardiac risks of participation in athletics. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains the leading cause of sudden death from cardiac causes among young athletes. Although controlled studies are lacking, there is indirect evidence to suggest that screening and sidelining young athletes with high-risk cardiac findings are justified and should decrease the number of sudden deaths in this population.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
