AB  - Sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in the young athlete, is a rare though devastating event
for families, institutions, and communities at large. It can also affect the nonathlete and occur at
rest, although most commonly associated with exercise activities and/or sports participation. Common causes of SCD include cardiomyopathies, particularly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the
United States, congenital coronary artery anomalies, channelopathies, among others. This report
will explore an overview of the prevalence and causes of SCD in the young.
