主 题:Sudden cardiac death 12-Lead ECG Athlete's heart
摘 要:Purpose Two-thirds of sudden cardiac deaths are attributable to underlying cardiovascular conditions in young collegiate athletes.A 12-lead exercise stress test is a screening tool that can detect these abnormalities that may predispose collegiate athletes to sudden cardiac death,and can ensure athletes meet the physical demands of training and *** pur-pose of this study was to evaluate the electrocardiographic(ECG)characteristics of DivisionⅡcollegiate athletes using the Seattle *** Fifty two athletes(males=26;females=26)of various ethnicities(Caucasian=65%,Latino/Hispanic=20%,and African American=15%);from soccer(27%),tennis(17%),basketball(15%),softball(14%),cross country(9%),volleyball(6%),football(6%),and swimming(6%)completed cardiovascular screening with resting and exercise 12-lead ECG *** abnormalities and anthropometrics were compared across race,gender,and sports using an ***-square analysis was used to test for differences in the frequency of ECG findings across gender,race,and *** Although sport was not a predictor for an abnormal ECG,73%of the athletes presented with athletes heart con-figuration,which was significantly higher in males than females(P=0.02).The highest occurrence of these adaptations was observed in 100%of Latino/Hispanic athletes,compared to 75%of African American and 64%of Caucasian *** With newer and more sensitive ECG screening criteria,the prevalence of false-positive tests is *** research should focus on advancing the sensitivity and specificity of ECG interpretation in more diverse athletic populations regarding race and *** increasing incidence of sudden cardiac death in collegiate athletes warrants future research that evaluates the impact of implementing the 12-lead ECG as a standard screening tool for collegiate athletes.
