Impact of exercise addiction on attitude to preparticipation evaluation and adherence to medical prescription
Aims Identification of silent cardiovascular diseases by preparticipation evaluation (PPE) and disqualification from competitive sports have the potential to prevent sudden death but may induce adverse psychological consequences, particularly for exercise addicted athletes. We investigated the relationship between exercise addiction, attitude towards PPE and reaction to cardiovascular disease diagnosis. Methods We invited Italian competitive athletes to participate in an online questionnaire investigating exercise addiction, opinion about mandatory PPE and potential reaction to both sports disqualification and hypothe...

Italian Cardiological Guidelines for Sports Eligibility in Athletes with Heart Disease: Part 1
In Italy the existence of a law on health protection of competitive sports since 1982 has favored the creation and the revision of these cardiological guidelines (called COCIS), which have reached their fourth edition (1989–2009). The present article is the second English version, which has summarized the larger version in Italian. The experience of the experts consulted in the course of these past 20 years has facilitated the application and the compatibility of issues related to clinical cardiology to the sports medicine field. Such prolonged experience has allowed the clinical cardiologist to acquire knowledge of the ...

Sports cardiology : Overview of relevant clinical topics.
Authors: Laszlo R, Scharhag J, Burgstahler C, Striegel H, Steinacker JM Abstract Physical activity is nowadays an established therapeutic principle concerning primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases; therefore, in internal sports medicine various aspects go beyond basic cardiological knowledge and require special medical expertise (sports cardiology). Acute cardiac risk is increased during physical activity; therefore, physical activity should be individually phased under consideration of the whole clinical situation. Physical training results in a functional adaptation of the cardiovascular sys...

Exercise and Sports Participation in Adolescents and Young Adults With Congenital Heart Disease
AbstractPurpose of reviewChildren and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) have historically been restricted from vigorous exercise or competitive sports. With our growing understanding of the benefits of exercise and sports participation, we aim to review current recommendations for safe sports participation in children and adolescents with congenital heart disease.Recent findingsRecently published studies identify obesity to be highly prevalent in patients with CHD, especially as they age. This is more evident if the patients lead a sedentary lifestyle or are restricted from engaging in exercise. Recently publ...

Exercise and Sports Participation in Children with Cardiomyopathy: A Review
AbstractPurpose of reviewThere are numerous health benefits to exercise, including improved cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health. Despite these many benefits, children with cardiomyopathy have been traditionally restricted from engaging in exercise or participating in organized sports. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature regarding the utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing, discuss the safety and benefits of exercise and sports participation in children with cardiomyopathy, and to identify research gaps in the field.Recent findingsWe highlight relevant literature discussing exerci...

Current and Potential Applications of Wearables in Sports Cardiology
AbstractPurpose of the reviewCommercial wearable biosensors are commonly used among athletes and highly active individuals, although their value in sports cardiology is not well established. In this review, we discuss the evidence for the current applications of wearables and provide our outlook for promising future directions of this emerging field.Recent findingsThe integration of routine assessment of physiological parameters, activity data, and features such as electrocardiogram recording has generated excitement over a role for wearables to help diagnose and monitor cardiovascular disease. Presently, however, there ar...

The evolution of Sports participation Guidelines and the influence of genotype-phenotype correlation in long QT syndrome
Congenital Long QT Syndrome (LQTS) results in abnormal ventricular repolarization in patients with otherwise structurally normal hearts. Following the initial clinical descriptions of LQTS, there has been a great deal of investigation into the genetic etiology and pathophysiology of these entities, with the goal of improved screening tools and understanding of associated risks. Through this work, heart rhythm experts continue to revise their recommendations regarding sports eligibility. We review the evolution of sports participation recommendations for LQTS.

Age-dependent diagnostic yield of echocardiography as a second-line diagnostic investigation in athletes with abnormalities at preparticipation screening
Aims Systematic pre-participation screening of subjects practicing sports activity has the potential to identify athletes at risk of sudden cardiac death. However, limited evidence are present concerning the yield of echocardiography as a second-line exam in athletes with abnormal pre-participation screening. Methods Consecutive athletes were screened (2011–2017) in a community-based sports medicine center in Tuscany, with familial history, physical examination and ECG. Patients with abnormal/>1 borderline ECG findings, symptoms/signs of cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk factors or family history of...
