Possible mechanisms of sudden cardiac death in top athletes: a basic cardiac electrophysiological point of view.

Abstract excerpt

Sudden death among athletes is very rare (1:50,000-1:100,000 annually) but it is still 2-4 times more frequent than in the age-matched control population and attracts significant media attention.
