Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) is a life-threatening event where the heart unexpectedly stops beating, often without any warning signs.
In young athletes, it is usually caused by undiagnosed structural or electrical heart conditions — conditions that regular sports physicals often miss.
Fainting or seizures during or after exercise, or from emotional stress.
Chest pain, discomfort, or a racing heartbeat.
Unexplained fainting or seizures at any time.
Shortness of breath or unusual fatigue with activity.
Dizziness or lightheadedness during or after physical exertion.
Family history of heart disease, sudden unexplained death, or death during exercise or seizures (under age 50).
