Sudden Death in Young Athletes

Dear Doctor:

When an athlete dies suddenly on the practice field or in a game, the news

frenzy that typically results brings the uncommon yet wrenching problem of

sudden cardiac arrest in young patients to the fore. Anxious parents

typically want guidance on keeping their children safe, and there may be an

unusually intense focus on detection of high-risk patients and prevention.

Cardiologists, internists, and family practitioners may be flooded with

requests for sports physicals. And unfortunately, lawsuits over improper

screening may occur, with the examining doctor caught in the crosshairs.

Having a complete clinical picture of this rare but devastating occurrence,

the current standards for proper sports physicals, and criteria for when to

restrict patients from sports activities can ensure you provide patients

with the right information, make appropriate decisions on restrictions for

high-risk patients, and that you're protected from liability if a patient

who passed your exam becomes an unfortunate victim.

That's why Oakstone Medical, publisher of Practical Reviews in Cardiology,

is releasing " Sudden Death in Young Athletes, " an audio CD that puts the

existing research on this difficult topic into clear perspective and

provides practical guidance for physicians on standards of care in

screening. And for a limited time, Oakstone customers can receive this

essential audio guide for a special price and with a 100% guarantee of

satisfaction.
