Does systematic cardiovascular screening provide a meaningful diagnostic yield for identifying young individuals at increased risk for sudden cardiac death?
Systematic cardiovascular screening in young individuals provides a potentially meaningful diagnostic yield for sudden cardiac death risk, though long-term outcome and cost-effectiveness data are currently lacking.
Systematic cardiovascular screening may help identify young individuals at increased risk for SCD, providing a potentially meaningful diagnostic yield. However, the absence of long-term data on outcome and cost-effectiveness underscores the need for further research to refine screening protocols, assess sustainability, and inform evidence-based public health policies.
Bonanni et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
