Résumé
One out of 14 players who were screened needed extensive further cardiac evaluation, which is associated with morbidity and loss of quality of life, while no sudden cardiac death was prevented. Therefore, cardiac screening of 15-17-year-old potentially professional soccer players in order to prevent sudden cardiac death is not recommended. Instead, it is advisable to put effort in enhancement of possibilities for quickly starting cardiopulmonary resuscitation in case of cardiac arrest in athletes.
