Sudden death during sport is a rare and unexpected event. It essentially affects young males, and a cardiomyopathy that had not been diagnosed during medical examinations is present in the majority of cases. In young subjects, there is generally hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or arhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. This is revealed during sporting activity, and sudden death is often the first symptom of the disease. Competitive sport increases the relative risk of sudden death to 2.5 compared to the risk in a non-sporting subject. The prevalence of sudden death during competitive sport is poorly understood. From the rare studies available, it could be estimated at 2.3/100,000 athletes per year. In Europe, it essentially occurs during football matches. However, the prevalence of sudden death during so-called 'recreational' sports is not precisely known. It could be much higher because these activities involve a larger number of people, and take place without supervision and usually without a medical examination beforehand. The participants are older, and coronary pathology is usually implicated.
