New research highlights risk of 'false positives' among black athletes following cardiac testing

Published paper is ‘Editor’s Pick’ in April 30th issue of Circulation; and underlines the need for expert screening and diagnosis to prevent unnecessary disqualification of elite athletes. Researchers funded by CRY have published new research in one of the world’s leading cardiology journals, ‘Circulation’, which highlights the importance of expertise when conducting cardiac screening, because of
