Original Note:
The (not so) good sciencing blog used a study from 2006 to create a background rate, then inappropriately used a list derived from online news stories which included all ages groups, non athletes, people who did not die, cancer deaths etc to establish their "1,598" figure. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/01/12/fact-check-post-makes-false-claim-athletes-sudden-cardiac-death/11018611002/
