Mashup Score: 5
Ventricular pre-excitation (VP) is a cardiac disorder characterized by the presence of an accessory pathway (AP) that bypasses the atrioventricular node (AVN), which, although often asymptomatic, exposes individuals to an increased risk of re-entrant supraventricular tachycardias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to rapid atrial fibrillation (AF) conduction. This condition is particularly significant in sports cardiology, where preparticipation ECG screening is routinely performed on athletes. Professional athletes, given their elevated risk of developing malignant arrhythmias, require careful assessment. Early identification of VP and proper risk stratification are crucial for determining the most appropriate management strategy and ensuring the safety of these individuals during competitive sports. Non-invasive tools, such as resting electrocardiograms (ECGs), ambulatory ECG monitoring, and exercise stress tests, are commonly employed, although their interpretation can sometimes be

Mashup Score: 0Chief Medical Officers’ perceptions of barriers and enablers to implementing elite athlete cardiac screening programs - 26 day(s) ago
Introduction: Cardiac screening of elite athletes for conditions associated with sudden cardiac arrest/death (SCA/D) is recommended by national and international guidelines, including the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians (ACSEP) position statement. Chief medical officers (CMOs) of sporting organisations are generally responsible for implementing the cardiac screening program. The aim of this study was to investigate CMOs’ perceptions of barriers and enablers to implementation of cardiac screening in their sporting organisation.

Mashup Score: 3The Role of Nuclear Medicine in the Diagnostic Work-Up of Athletes: An Essential Guide for the Sports Cardiologist - 1 month(s) ago
Athletes with heart disease are at increased risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death compared to their sedentary counterparts. When athletes have symptoms or abnormal findings at preparticipation screenings, a precise diagnosis by differentiating physiological features of the athlete’s heart from pathological signs of cardiac disease is as important as it is challenging. While traditional imaging methods such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance, and computed tomography are commonly employed, nuclear medicine offers unique advantages, especially in scenarios requiring stress-based functional evaluation. This article reviews the use of nuclear medicine techniques in the diagnostic work-up of athletes with suspected cardiac diseases by highlighting their ability to investigate myocardial perfusion, metabolism, and innervation. The article discusses the application of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography

El buceo recreacional se está poniendo de moda. Muchos viajes de ocio llevan incorporados en su cartera de ofertas esta actividad. Pero mucha gente no sabe que se debe tener precaución antes de la realización del buceo, ya que caso de padecer algún tipo de tipo de enfermedad cardiovascular, es recomendable realizar unos controles médicos previos. Se aconseja una evaluación cardiológica cada dos años, según las normativas. Es fundamental que un médico evalúe tu condición cardiovascular y determine si eres
