Croatian model of prevention of sudden cardiac death

The President of the Health Commission of the Croatian Football Federation, prof. Dragan Primorac, M.D., Ph.D., and the President of the Croatian Football Federation (HNS), Davor Šuker, presented in Zagreb today the “Croatian model of prevention of sudden cardiac death in athletes by analysing targeted genes and associated mutations associated with conditions that can lead to sudden cardiac death in athletes”, which was recently published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Medicine.

Scientists from the St. Catherine Speciality Hospital, the official hospital of the HNS, in collaboration with colleagues from the USA, Canada, Croatia and Germany, published the results related to the role of specific genetic markers as possible predictors of sudden cardiac death in athletes.
