摘要：
In this issue, Eckart and colleagues show that cardiovascular conditions account for most sudden deaths in basic military training. These conditions are very difficult to detect with noninvasive tests in a low-risk population. A history of chest pain, syncope, or unusual dyspnea before or during basic training should alert physicians to military recruits at relatively high risk.
