Joint Statement on behalf of MLB, MLS, NBA, NHL, NFL and WNBA
The study published today by JAMA Cardiology is an illustration of the collaboration amongst medical experts at MLB, MLS, NBA, NHL, NFL and WNBA and our respective players associations over the past year. Since the onset of the pandemic, we have worked more closely together than ever to share lessons learned to ensure the best possible care for players.
As part of that ongoing collaboration, each league implemented a similar cardiac screening program for athletes with prior COVID-19 infection.
