Description In communication is presented a case of death of adolescent soccer player. The cause was arrhytmogenic right ventricular dysplasia. Five years before the death were found by athlete during preventive medicine examination some changes on ECG (negative T-waves over the right precordium and disorders of rhythm) and he was sent to pediatric cardiologist. The cardiologist has confirmed negative T-waves and has recommended following. But athlete did not come for control any more and last four years before death he did not come for preventive medical check-up at all. We suppose, that resting and loading ECG examination during the preventive check-up of athlete by the physician of physical training has its justification. For the physicians of physical training we remind the meaning of careful anamnesis, clinical examination and resting and loading ECG in disclosure of this disease. From the knowledge of ARVD and of our case follows a recommendation to the athletes, their parents and sport pedagogues, that they did not underrate the risk of myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, that they pass preventive medical check-up and that they respect the recommendation of physicians. We recommend to the Universities to deal with this problems during lessons of the sport pedagogues and physicians.
