[Establishment of a national registry for sudden cardiac arrest in athletes].
Physical activity is healthy but can also trigger sudden cardiac arrest in vulnerable subjects. A Dutch national registry of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes has been established under the name of SPORTCOR. The aim of the registry is to obtain a better understanding of the incidence and causes of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes. Medical doctors and family members can register cases of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes at the website www.sportcor.nl. The website also provides background information for those who are interested.
