Sudden cardiac death in competing athletes is usually caused by unsuspected heart disease, and pre-participation screening may reduce the incidence of this tragic event. Although the cost-effectiveness of screening programs is unclear, international sports associations are currently implementing mandatory screening of elite athletes. During the first year of screening in the top Danish soccer league, all athletes were found to be eligible for continued participation in the game, suggesting that concern about false positive screening results may be exaggerated.
竞技运动员的心脏性猝死通常由未被察觉的心脏病引起，而赛前筛查可能会降低这一悲剧事件的发生率。尽管筛查项目的成本效益尚不清楚，但国际体育协会目前正在对精英运动员实施强制筛查。在丹麦顶级足球联赛筛查的第一年，所有运动员都被认定有资格继续参赛，这表明对筛查结果假阳性的担忧可能被夸大了。
