Relax: I would not worry with the normal tests you've had so far. Just maintain a healthy lifestyle with low cholesterol low salt diet and physical exercise.

Probably not: The risk of sca is very low in the young, healthy population. Unless you have a family history of sca or a genetic predisposition to sudden death, your risk should also be low. There is a risk calculator that can be applied to assess sca risk in patients undergoing surgery. It was developed by dr. Gupta and can be accessed at www.Qxmd.Com.
