Background High false positive rates and the subsequent cost of additional investigations provide a major obstacle to screening young athletes for cardiac disease with an electrocardiogram (ECG). However, the actual cost of ECG has never been assessed systematically in a large cohort of athletes. Objective This study investigated the financial implications associated with ECG interpretation in athletes according to the 2010 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the more contemporary Seattle and refined ECG interpretation criteria. Methods Between 2011 and 2014, 4,925 previously unscreened athletes aged 14-35 years were prospectively evaluated with history, physical examination and an ECG interpreted with the 2010 ESC recommendations...
