Presence of abnormal findings within sports pre-participation cardiovascular screening

Conclusions The sports pre-participation cardiovascular screening with ECG required complementary cardiovascular exams in 6% of the cases and 0.3% were not cleared to participate in sports. The decision was based in the most up-to-date knowledge of life threatening cardiac clinical conditions and supports a life-preventive measure to 3 young persons over an approximate cost of 12000.
