Why Get An Echocardiogram?
What are the risks?
Athletes in the prime of their life and career are particularly susceptible to this “Silent Cardiac Killer” that often occurs without any warning following exertion from sports. It is now known that 1 in 500 people are affected. Usual testing does not detect HCM – many athletes have normal EKGs prior to having their fatal event.
