Preventive cardiac screening in children and young people who play sport is particularly important, because although children and young people are a low-risk population group with regard to cardiovascular disease, the presence of cardiovascular disease poses significant problems.
At ANASSA a complete cardiological sports screening is provided by specialized scientists and this includes:
• Taking the child’s medical history, family history of both parents, medication and any symptoms
• clinical examination for any signs that may indicate a heart condition
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
If suspicious signs are found in this basic test, further investigation may be needed, e.g. heart ultrasound, Holter rhythm, pressure, chest X-ray.
