How much will it cost
Basic screening
This is ideal for healthy, young amateur athletes. This will
involve an electrocardiogram, screening questionnaire and brief
cardiovascular examination. This is the screening recommended by
the European Society of Cardiology for all children and athletes
(over 12 years) who take part in regular competitive sport.
Approximate cost: £55
Professional Screening
This is ideal for the high level amateur or professional athlete.
This is identical to the Basic screening but also includes an
echocardiogram. This assesses the precise structure and function
of the heart chambers and valves. This is the screening
recommended by the Football Association for junior professional
footballers.
Approximate cost; £250
For further details of costs including assessment using
exercise test screening (recommended for older amateur athletes
and professional sportsmen). Please email

disease. Sports Cardiology UK adheres to European Society of
Cardiology guidelines. These have been formulated to try to pick
up the vast majority of important cardiac conditions which might
occur in athletes. However, Sports Cardiology UK cannot be held
responsible for conditions which are not detected or detectable
using the recommended diagnostic tests available.
