Pediheart Podcast # 91: Pre-Participation Sports Evaluation - ECG vs. 14 Point AHA Evaluation

This week's episode is co-branded with the SADS Foundation and we review a recent work by the team at U. of Washington on a comparison between the ECG and the AHA 14 point evaluation recommendation for the identification of cardiac diseases that may predispose to sudden death amongst high school athletes. We speak with Dr. Jonathan Drezner of U. of Washington about this important work and he offers many insights into the pluses and minuses of both the history and physical approach as well as the ECG.
