Core Tip This review evaluates the role of electrocardiogram screening in preventing sudden cardiac death among adolescent athletes, emphasizing diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and international policy differences. By comparing American and European screening models, we highlight the balance between sensitivity, feasibility, and resource utilization. Advances such as standardized electrocardiogram interpretation criteria and artificial intelligence-assisted analysis may improve detection accuracy while reducing false positives and financial burden. These insights underscore the potential for evidence-based, equitable, and efficient cardiovascular screening strategies in young athletes.
