Post–COVID-19 Cardiovascular Evaluation in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Athletes
Conclusions: Occurrence of myocarditis was lower in this population compared with other studies. No student athlete was permanently disqualified from participation because of testing. A stratified, risk-based testing strategy with CMR may be more appropriate than a universal screening strategy.

Guide to the female student athlete ECG: A comprehensive study of 3466 young, racially diverse athletes
Competitive sports alter the functional, structural, and electrical properties of the heart.1 Screening competitive athletes for cardiac pathology to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death is a primary goal of the preparticipation examination. Despite controversy over the utility of the electrocardiogram (ECG), it can capture changes due to athletic remodeling and cardiac pathology.2, 3 The 2017 international criteria for ECG interpretation in athletes were developed to provide guidance to physicians interpreting athlete ECGs and to make clear that athlete ECGs differ from other populations.

Heartbeat detector from ECG and PPG signals based on wavelet transform and upper envelopes
AbstractThe analysis of cardiac activity is one of the most common elements for evaluating the state of a subject, either to control possible health risks, sports performance, stress levels, etc. This activity can be recorded using different techniques, with electrocardiogram and photoplethysmogram being the most common. Both techniques make significantly different waveforms, however the first derivative of the photoplethysmographic data produces a signal structurally similar to the electrocardiogram, so any technique focusing on detecting QRS complexes, and thus heartbeats in electrocardiogram, is potentially applicable t...

Nonstructural Genetic Cardiac Disease as the Most Common Cause of Sudden Cardiac Death in the Young Athlete: Is This True?
AbstractPurpose  of reviewThis review is aimed at summarizing and discussing the primary causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes.Recent findingsSCD in young athletes is a dramatic event, with an incidence rate that can reach 13 deaths per 100,000 athletes. Occasionally, exercise can trigger SCD, and unfortunately, this event may be the first manifestation of an underlying and silent cardiac condition. In the USA, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is reported as the leading cause of SCD among young athletes, whereas arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy has been reported as the main cause in the Veneto r...

ECG Worthwhile for Pre-Sports Check-Up (CME/CE)
ROME (MedPage Today) -- Screening students before participation in sports with an electrocardiogram to pick up potentially deadly cardiac problems is worthwhile, one European study found, and another argued for screening all students.

Sports Participation During Teenage Years
Ensuring the safety of young athletes is a priority among health care providers. Controversy remains as to the best method of preparticipation screening. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association currently recommend screening with history and physical examination, without routine electrocardiogram or echocardiography. Meticulous conduction of a cardiac focused history and exam during the preparticipation evaluation can help identify those who may be at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. Understanding presenting signs of the most common cardiac diseases is useful in recognizing those in need of a di...

Clinical significance of electrocardiographic right ventricular hypertrophy in athletes: comparison with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension
Conclusion Electrocardiographic voltage criteria for RVH are frequently fulfilled in healthy athletes without underlying RV pathology, and should not prompt further evaluation if observed in isolation. Recognition of this phenomenon should reduce the burden of investigations after pre-participation ECG screening without compromising sensitivity for disease.

Cardioautonomic instability following a sports-related concussion in a 20-year-old male
The world of sports and cardiology often overlap under the broad spectrum of topics from pre-participation physical examinations to sudden cardiac death. We seek to prognosticate susceptibility for adverse, and potentially, avoidable negative outcomes from objective information obtained by a comprehensive review of symptoms, relevant cardiac history, and findings from electrocardiograms (ECGs). In absence of diagnosed congenital disorders, or undiagnosed subclinical disease process, untoward cardiac-related events in young athletes are otherwise unexpected. In recent years, concussion has captured the public's attention as...

Life-Threatening Events During Endurance Sports Is Heat Stroke More Prevalent Than Arrhythmic Death?
ConclusionsIn our cohort of athletes participating in endurance sports, for every serious cardiac adverse event, there were 10 serious events related to heat stroke. One of the heat stroke–related fatalities presented with unheralded cardiac arrest. Our results put in a different perspective the ongoing debate about the role of pre-participation electrocardiographic screening for the prevention of sudden death in athletes.

Dynamics of heart rate variability in different ages: effect of the arm crank and cycle ergometer Protocols.
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate a relationship between lowered heart rate variability and the age of the subjects. In addition, our findings suggest a clinically important effect of exhaustive physical activity in various ages after upper body work than lower body work.

Late-night exercise affects the autonomic nervous system activity but not the hypothalamo- pituitary-adrenal axis in the next morning.
CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that late-night exercise is associated with changed HRV activity rather than changes in CAR and, therefore, it might be suggested that late-night exercise affects ANS activity rather than HPA activity in the next morning.

A Prospective Pilot Study to Identify a Myocarditis Cohort who may Safely Resume Sports Activities 3  Months after Diagnosis
AbstractInternational cardiovascular society recommendations to return to sports activities following acute myocarditis are based on expert consensus in the absence of prospective studies. We prospectively enrolled 30 patients with newly diagnosed myocarditis based on clinical parameters, laboratory measurements and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with a follow-up of 12  months. Cessation of physical activity was recommended for 3 months. The average age was 35 (19–80) years with 73% male patients. One case of non-sustained ventricular tachyc...
