*Some European countries have a mandatory screening programme to detect cardiac conditions.Whilst heart screening has been compulsory in all teenagers and adults competing in athletic sports in Italy since 1982, it is important to note that conditions can affect non-athletes also. Many other European countries offer similar cardiac screening programmes including France, Greece, Spain, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Germany and Poland. Professional bodies such as FIFA and the International Olympic Committee recommend cardiac screening for all their sportsmen and women. The American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology have prepared guidelines to facilitate this.* |
