Aim

Although the clinical significance of screening tests is still controversial for the professional sportsmen and elite athletes or special occupational status e.g. military, aviation, altitude climbers we claim that it may give more vital data than expected. Detection of various type of aortic or valvular disease could prevent the progression of current status while detection of congenital heart disease could prevent the actual disease to consequence with heart failure or sudden cardiac/arrhythmic deaths.

We aimed to present the spectrum of cardiovascular disease which could further be related significant cardiovascular events unless they were not detected in a large population (n=2969) of young healthy adolescents.

Material-Method

We retrospectively analyzed the medical recording of healthy young subjects (ranging between 19-24 years old) and echocardiographic diagnosis of subjects. Echocardiographic examination was performed by standard parasternal long axis and short axis view and from the apical four/five chamber view and when necessary from the suprasternal view.
