Cardiovascular Disease Screening in Primary School Children
CVD screening programs in school children can be very helpful for the early detection of CVD risk factors and of their general health as well. Expert cardiac auscultation and 12-lead ECG allow for the detection of structural and arrhythmogenic heard disease, respectively. Further study is needed regarding performance of individual components, accuracy of interpretation (including computer assisted diagnosis) and cost-effectiveness, before large-scale application of CVD screening in unselected pediatric populations.
