Most such cases involve a previously undiagnosed cardiac condition with no other warning symptoms. Occasionally there are minor symptoms which are not brought to a physician's attention because they seem to be mild, transient, or inconsequential. The bottom line, of course, is that a student/athlete is dead and the family, friends, and school district must deal with the emotions that follow such a tragic incident. The saddest part of this is that these things are almost completely unpreventable due to the general absence of symptoms before the fatal event.
