Hello everyone!

I am doing a research paper on SCA and was wondering if anyone had excellent sources of info and statistics on SCA.

If you could post a link to some sources that would be much appreciated. :D

Thank you to everyone! :D

Ok...that is freakin' hilarious!
 
Ask and ye shall receive!
 
Holy C:censored::censored::censored:!
Thanks Rid! My paper is now complete :P
Again, thank you! ^_^

Now let me just read through all of it hehe
 
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is the most common underlying cause of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes under 35.
