Comments on the New International Criteria for Electrocardiographic Interpretation in Athletes
Publication date: Available online 18 September 2017 Source:Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition) Author(s): Luis Serratosa-Fernández, Domingo Pascual-Figal, María Dolores Masiá-Mondéjar, María Sanz-de la Garza, Zigor Madaria-Marijuan, Juan Ramón Gimeno-Blanes, Carmen Adamuz Sudden cardiac death is the most common medical cause of death during the practice of sports. Several structural and electrical cardiac conditions are associated with sudden cardiac death in athletes, most of them showing abnormal findings on resting electrocardiogram (ECG). However, because of the similarity between some ECG findi...

Awareness and education about cardiovascular events and sport are essential: Results of a French multicenter survey
ConclusionThe lack of awareness about cardiovascular events remains significant among sports practitioners. Better education about such risks seems necessary to reduce the rate of accidents in the future.RésuméObjectifLes événements cardio-vasculaires survenant lors de l’activité physique deviennent un problème de santé publique. En sus des bilans de dépistage, une meilleure prévention devrait autoriser une baisse du nombre d’accidents. Ce travail souligne les carences dans la gestion des facteurs de risque et des comportements à risque au sein de la population sportive tout-venante.MéthodeUn questionnaire a...

High Number of Medical Conditions Detected in Elite Athlete Periodic Health Evaluations, But Only Mild Consequences
Conclusions: We found a high number of medical conditions detected with a PHE in elite athletes. However, the vast majority of detected conditions were mild, with consequences limited to preventive advice and follow-up. The yield of PHE to detect (potentially) severe pathological conditions seems low. Clinical relevance of PHE in elite athletes and potential future health benefits remain unclear.

New Training Package Could Help Doctors Cut Rates Of Sudden Cardiac Death In Athletes
Progress on curbing the leading killer of athletes - sudden cardiac death - by spotting heart problems early, has been slow. But the development of a series of online tutorials for sports and cardiology doctors looks set to reverse this trend. The tutorials, which are free to any doctor around the globe, thanks to the backing of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) and FIFA, aim to teach physicians how to read heart monitor tracings (ECGs) and spot abnormalities linked to potentially fatal disorders...

Screening young athletes for prevention of sudden cardiac death: Practical recommendations for sports physicians
Regular intensive exercise in athletes increases the relative risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) compared with the relatively sedentary population. Most cases of SCD are due to silent cardiovascular diseases, and pre‐participation screening of athletes at risk of SCD is thus of major importance. However, medical guidelines and recommendations differ widely between countries. In Italy, the National Health System recommends pre‐participation screening for all competitive athletes including personal and family history, a physical examination, and a resting 12‐lead electrocardiogram (ECG). In the United States, the Ameri...

Long‐term effects of frequent maximal breath‐holding on the cardiac health of elite freedivers
In conclusion, freediving athletes exhibited changes in their cardiac status, most likely due to the regular exercise, that were not associated with regular maximal voluntary breath‐holds. These changes are within the normal physiological values and do not limit their freediving practice.

International recommendations for electrocardiographic interpretation in athletes
The objective of the meeting was to define and revise ECG interpretation s tandards based on new and emerging research and to develop a clear guide to the proper evaluation of ECG abnormalities in athletes. This statement represents an international consensus for ECG interpretation in athletes and provides expert opinion-based recommendations linking specific ECG abnormali ties and the secondary evaluation for conditions associated with SCD.

Sudden Cardiac Death in the Adolescent Athlete: History, Diagnosis, and Prevention
Sudden cardiac death in young athletes is a devastating condition that occurs without warning. While most middle and high school athletes require pre-participation screening, many predisposing conditions go undiagnosed until they occur. The frequency of sudden cardiac death is often under reported because there is no mandatory system for reporting sports-related death in high school sports. Additionally, there is debate regarding the cost-effectiveness of more advanced screening tests such as electrocardiogram (ECG) due to high false positive rates.

The Role of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) In the Screening and Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Sports
Praxis (Bern 1994). 2023 Jun;112(7-8):431-435. doi: 10.1024/1661-8157/a004027.ABSTRACTThe Role of the Electrocardiogram (ECG) In the Screening and Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death in Sports Abstract: Athletes carry a higher risk for sports-related sudden cardiac death compared to the general population. The majority of these athletes suffer from an undiagnosed heart disease. Since physical activity is an essential trigger for sudden cardiac death in individuals with undiagnosed, usually hereditary, heart disease, sports can lead to sudden cardiac death in these athletes. Different heart diseases lead to sudden cardiac de...
