How can high school athletes be adequately screen hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?

Difficult ?: There is no formal screening of athletes in the us. Coutries like italy have a mandatory screening for all athletes consisting of an ekg followed by further testing as needed. See your family doctor especially if there is a family history . A referral can be made to cardiology if there is a high suspicion.
