This letter should be considered as a follow up comment to the recent publication
in the European Journal of Internal Medicine on sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young
athletes [
[1]
]. The issue of SCD in athletes appears periodically as a required solution enigma with deep historical roots [
[1]
]. It was noticed in the 1960s [
[2]
] and firstly systematically analyzed in the 1980s [
[3]
]. The most interesting fact is that the healthiest looking youngsters are the subjects
of such cases [
[4]
]. The observed recent increment in such cases [
[1]
] was logically attributed to the COVID-19 infection and vaccinations [
[5]
], but left behind the consideration namely the reason for it. It was proposed to perform
screening(s), but without understanding the parameters to collect this recommendation
doesn't look solid enough to follow [
[6]
