There is a differential diagnosis list for sudden cardiac death in the athlete. The Garrick chapter lists the most common cause in the US as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (36%), followed by coronary anomalies (19%), and increased cardiac mass (10%). The other choices were much less common causes: Ruptured aorta accounted for 5%, dilated cardiomyopathy 3%, and MVP 2%.
