Abstract :
I would like to commend Dr Farzin Halabchi and
colleagues regarding their excellent review article of
“Sudden cardiac death in young athletes” [1]. The
identification of underlying cardiovascular disease is a
primary screening objective of physicians who care for
athletes. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify
some points made in the article and make some
suggestions for future screening and research.
