In the News: Sudden Cardiac Death

I came across an informative article about sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the online edition of the Halifax Evening Courier. The article focuses on the recent death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, but the content relates to the risk of SCD in young athletes as well. The article points to the need for careful screening examinations for cardiovascular disease and this fits in well with my previous post, “Who Needs a Doctor?”
