Why undergo a Cardiac Screening?

Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS)
•             1 in 300 people may have a cardiac abnormality
•             The national register recently reported that the
incidents of SADS are higher in Ireland than many other European
countries.
•             In Italy cardiac screening is mandatory for anyone aged
12 to 35 years involved in competitive sport for the past 25 years.
They have reduced the incidents of SADS by 89%.

the International Rugby Board recommend cardiac screening for all
players over the age of 14 years
