Abstract
We assessed whether the presence and character of a cardiac murmur in adolescents were associated with structural heart disease that confers risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).We performed a retrospective analysis of 15 141 adolescents age 12-19 who underwent a heart screen with history, physical examination and ECG.
