This suggests that this type of screening is not part of the regular routine for the players, contrary to what was suggested in the Stoke Postponement thread. I have also heard that some of the conditions that can make the heart more vulnerable to cardiac arrest are difficult to spot (this was the case with Norwegian footballer Carl Erik Torp, who collapsed with cardiac arrest during a Norwegian Premier League game in the autumn of 2011) and that a very thorough testing procedure is required to spot these very rare conditions.
