Description:

This discussion between JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology Associate Editor Sumeet Chugh, MD, FACC and author Jonathan Drezner discuss this research study presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC. In the observational study, they identified cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) among young competitive athletes >/=11 years old from 7/1/2014-7/30/2023. During the 9-year study period, overall survival after SCA (49%,range 30-66%) and survival after exertional SCA (57%,range 38-72%) increased. Black race (RR=0.63,95% CI 0.53-0.76), Other race (RR=0.69,95% CI 0.50-0.94), and non-exertional SCA (RR=0.43,95% CI 0.32-0.59) were associated with lower survival from SCA adjusting for level of competition and sex. While survival from SCA among young competitive athletes in the United States has improved in the last decade, important racial disparities in outcomes were observed warranting additional research and prevention strategies.
