Don't just check the box, check your athlete's heart: Adding a 12-lead ECG to pre-participation screening to identify high risk of sudden cardiac arrest in male high school athletes

Sudden cardiac arrest continues to be a leading cause of death in male athletes participating in competitive sports. There is a gap in the current preventative screening practice. This study evaluates the feasibility of adding a 12-lead ECG to pre-participation screening to capture abnormalities that could lead to SCA.
