Overview

Prevention of sport-related health issues is an important medical and social topic especially due to possible sudden death of athlete, which is most often caused by an adverse cardiac condition. Diagnoses that could cause sudden cardiac death differs between paediatric and adult population. Inherited conditions predominate in children and adolescents, acquired conditions are responsible for sudden cardiac death in majority of adult athletes. Nowadays there is general agreement about screening of risks of sudden cardiac death. In the Czech Republic, sports physicians, general practitioners or primary care paediatricians perform sudden cardiac death risk screening as a part of preparticipation screening. Nevertheless, many more medical conditions must be screened during preparticipation check-ups; some of them are directly related to growth and development of an individual.
