Clinical significance of ST depression at exercise stress testing in competitive athletes: usefulness of coronary CT during screening.
CONCLUSIONS: In competitive athletes even with excellent workload capacities, in absence of cardiomyopathy, the presence of ischaemic electrocardiographic abnormalities could be mainly determined by a coronary congenital or acquired pathology. In this population CCTA is an useful imaging modality of choice for the risk stratification and for the diagnostic process, to allow eligible athletes to compete and to follow up subjects requiring medical surveillance.

Pre-participation cardiovascular screening of elite georgian adolescent athletes: clinical significance and outcomes
Conclusions PPS is significant tool to identify adolescent athletes at risk for exercise-induced SCD. As coronary anomalies are among the common reasons for SCD in young athletes, timely identification and appropriate clinical management, including considerations regarding safe return to sport are necessary.

Optical coherence tomography angiography as a  future diagnostic tool in sports medicine?
CONCLUSION: Differences were found in the OCTA measurements of the FAZ depending on the individual physical fitness. Performing HIIT can induce significant changes in certain OCTA parameters. Therefore, OCTA imaging appears to be a promising imaging modality in the field of sports medicine. PMID: 31028429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke in a Young Swimmer
Conclusions: Important differential diagnoses of cervicocephalic arterial dissection include other vascular or neurological causes of head and neck pain and/or local neurological syndromes and other causes of brain ischemia such as cardiac emboli, atherosclerosis, and vasculopathy of brain vessels. It is important that sports medicine practitioners pay attention to this less-diagnosed cause of stroke in young athletes.,Introduction: Arterial dissections are important causes of stroke in the young population. Dissection has been reported in association with some sports. It seems that this report is among the first ones of t...

Clinical case report of a professional triathlete with positive exercise stress test but negative coronary angiography
This article describes the clinical case of a master athlete, practising triathlon, who came to our Sports Medicine Center to be eligible for competitive sport. The subject, who had a family history of ischemic heart disease, presented a significant lowering of the ST segment in the inferolateral leads on the maximal cycle ergometer exercise test. Inducible myocardial ischemia emerged from the second level investigations. However, it was not confirmed by two coronary angiographies, the second performed after 9 years. The subject remained asymptomatic for the entire duration of the follow-up and in excellent clinical condit...

Subclinical coronary artery disease in veteran athletes: is a new preparticipation methodology required?
CONCLUSIONS: Conventional methodology used in preparticipation evaluation of veteran athletes, based on clinical CV risk factors and exercise testing, was poor at identifying significant subclinical CAD. The inclusion of more objective markers, particularly data derived from cardiac CT, is promising for more accurate CV risk stratification of these athletes.

Recognition and treatment of freezing and nonfreezing cold injuries.
This article reviews recent medical literature to provide an overview of the recognition and treatment of the two broad categories of cold injuries, freezing and nonfreezing. Frostbite, a freezing cold injury, is treated traditionally with rapid rewarming followed by tissue care and surgical debridement of necrotic tissue. Recently, newer therapies aimed at prevention of tissue necrosis have shown improved outcomes compared with more traditional therapies. These newer treatment regimens for frostbite include the use of various drugs such as ibuprofen, aspirin, warfarin, tissue plasminogen activator, and prostacyclin. The u...

Popliteal Artery Entrapment Syndrome.
Abstract Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) may be implicated as a cause of lower leg pain in active individuals. Though a relatively rare syndrome, it is likely underdiagnosed. History often includes exertional lower leg pain, cramping, and/or paresthesias rather quickly relieved by rest, though examination may be benign. When suspected, imaging is recommended to assess anatomic variations versus functional entrapment of the artery in the calf. Because there are a number of diagnostic modalities available, it seems prudent to begin with noninvasive testing, such as ultrasound with Doppler and provocative...
