We aimed to review the literature to explore the magnitude of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes. Although SCD in athletes is not a common event, it represents a tragedy of the apparently fit young population. SCD varies according to countries, age groups, and sex. In addition, it varies in the underlying causes and the screening tool. Therefore, we are in need for further research efforts. Guidelines, public and physician awareness, and education regarding the warning signs are integral part in the strategy to reduce SCD tragedy. However, all these requirements raise concern for cost-effectiveness in some countries for proper implementation.
我们旨在回顾文献，以探究年轻运动员心源性猝死（SCD）的发生率。尽管运动员发生心源性猝死并非常见事件，但它却是看似健康的年轻人群中的一场悲剧。心源性猝死因国家、年龄组和性别而异。此外，其潜在病因和筛查工具也有所不同。因此，我们需要进一步的研究努力。指南、公众和医生的意识以及关于警示信号的教育是减少心源性猝死悲剧战略的重要组成部分。然而，在一些国家，所有这些要求引发了对适当实施时成本效益的担忧。
