description Hence, the sudden cardiac death (SCD) in sports activity is a rare event, it affects the community deeply.

Hereby, a screening model including a family and personal history, an appropriate physical examination of the athlete and 12-lead electrocardiogram, is proposed for athletic participants based on a review of current literature and in accord with the European recommendations.
