Heart screening for young athletes
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study checks the hearts of children and teens who play organized sports to find any hidden heart problems. It uses a medical history, physical exam, and a resting electrocardiogram (a test that records the heart's electrical activity).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is creating a simple scoring system to predict risk of sudden cardiac arrest. It's looking for people who already have a heart condition, so the test can be made more accurate for others like you.
This study looks at the DNA of young people who died suddenly without a clear cause, to find inherited heart conditions. If a genetic cause is found, close family members can be tested to learn their own risk and get preventive care.
This study looks at how the heart's electrical signals can help doctors understand if treatments prevent dangerous heart rhythms in active people. It involves people with or without heart devices like ICDs or pacemakers, and may help improve care for active individuals with heart conditions.
This study offers former high-intensity athletes a heart check-up using advanced imaging to look for early signs of heart problems. It aims to help you understand your heart health and catch any issues early.
This trial uses a deep learning computer program to analyze your heart's electrical activity (ECG) during a routine check-up. It aims to help doctors decide if it's safe for you to play competitive sports.
