Damn that’s crazy. Not sure if an EKG would catch it but maybe they should require that as part of the high schools sports screening regimen.

It’s actually getting common.

Good article. My kids had screenings to play HS sports but I don’t remember an EKG bring part of it.

I had no idea that the incidence was so high in young people.

"Studies show that 1 in 300 young people has an undetected heart condition that puts them at risk of sudden cardiac arrest."

Common to do the EKG. A lot of schools are doing it as well as part of physicals at hire. I have one every year at my place of employment.
