Sudden cardiac arrest that happened to footballer the other day scared me.they say he had all clear heart tests prior to getting it. can you advise me which heart test would help me feel relieved when it comes to prediction of sudden cardiac arrest?

Sudden cardiac arrest in seemingly healthy athletes is rare, but can occur if there is underlying disease such as: cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome or heart birth defects. Unfortunately there is no one test that can predict sudden cardiac arrest in athletes. Thankfully, resuscitation is very common and easy treatment to stablilize the athlete.

There are none that are 100%. You are more likely to be struck by lighting or killed in a car wreck unless you wear your seat belt.,
