| “While only about 1 in 500 people have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of sudden death in young athletes, most have no idea they are afflicted. A screening electrocardiogram can often identify this as well as other life threatening conditions. Thus the ECG has the potential to save not only the life of the athlete, but also to alert family members who may be in danger.” |
