    " Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most frequent medical cause of sudden death in athletes, and estimates vary widely based on the population. A recent estimate of SCD incidence ranged from 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 80,000 athletes per year."

    From a paper written in 2016. Any evidence there has been an increase in this, or is it just a "vibe" ?
