" When screening high school athletes for cardiac abnormalities, an electrocardiogram (ECG) interpreted using athlete-specific criteria had a lower false-positive rate than a history and physical examination, researchers found. The rate of false-positive findings was 4% with the ECG, 22% with the history alone, 15% with the physical exam alone, and 32% with the combination of a history and physical, according to Jordan Prutkin, MD, of the University of Washington in Seattle."
