Does cardiovascular preparticipation screening cause psychological distress in athletes? A systematic review

Braeden Hill, Nicholas Grubic, Matthew Williamson, Dermot M. Phelan, Aaron L. Baggish, Paul Dorian, Jonathan A. Drezner, Amer M. Johri

Summary: This systematic review evaluated the psychological implications of cardiovascular preparticipation screening (PPS) in athletes. The findings indicated that most athletes had positive reactions to screening and would recommend it to others. Psychological distress was mainly reported among athletes with pathological cardiac conditions and true-positive screening results. However, athletes with false-positive screening results still reported an increased feeling of safety while participating in sport and were satisfied with PPS. Overall, most athletes did not experience psychological distress before, during, or after PPS, regardless of the screening modality used or accuracy of results.

Systematic Cardiovascular Screening in Olympic Athletes before and after SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Viviana Maestrini, Domenico Filomena, Lucia Ilaria Birtolo, Andrea Serdoz, Roberto Fiore, Mario Tatangelo, Erika Lemme, Maria Rosaria Squeo, Ruggiero Mango, Giuseppe Di Gioia, Francesco Fedele, Gianfranco Gualdi, Antonio Spataro, Antonio Pelliccia, Barbara Di Giacinto

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of cardiac involvement after COVID-19 in Olympic athletes. The findings showed that a minority of Olympic athletes screened after COVID-19 resolution had cardiac abnormalities, which were associated with new ventricular arrhythmias. Our data support the use of exercise-ECG as a clinical assessment tool to raise suspicion for cardiovascular abnormalities after COVID-19.

Non-COVID-19 cardiovascular pathology from return-to-play screening in college athletes after COVID-19

Christian F. Klein, Bradley J. Petek, Nathaniel Moulson, Aaron L. Baggish, Timothy W. Churchill, Kimberly G. Harmon, Stephanie A. Kliethermes, Manesh R. Patel, Jonathan A. Drezner

Summary: Cardiac testing in college athletes post-SARS-CoV-2 infection identified major non-COVID-19 cardiovascular pathology in 1/500 athletes. The addition of transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) to electrocardiogram (ECG) screening was limited in its value, with only 1/1000 athletes showing pathological aortic root dilatation and 1/160 athletes exhibiting minor abnormalities warranting surveillance.

The Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases in Paralympic Athletes

Diana Sawczuk, Pawel Gac, Rafal Poreba, Malgorzata Poreba

Summary: Paralympic participants, especially those with movement restrictions, have a higher prevalence of coronary heart disease. Athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI) are more prone to develop arrhythmias and other cardiovascular conditions. The cardiovascular status of disabled athletes depends on their impairment class, sport discipline, and environmental conditions. Further research is necessary due to limited data and existing discrepancies in this area.

Experiences of LGBTQ student-athletes in college sports: A meta-ethnography

Meng Xiang, Kim Geok Soh, Yingying Xu, Seyedali Ahrari, Noor Syamilah Zakaria

Summary: This study aimed to explore and describe the experiences of LGBTQ student-athletes in order to identify ways to support their safe participation in sports. A meta-ethnography was conducted to synthesize qualitative research focused on student-athletes' experiences. The findings revealed persistent discrimination experienced by LGBTQ student-athletes in college sports, posing a significant risk to their mental health. Furthermore, there is a lack of qualitative research on LGBTQ youth sports participation and a lack of understanding of the experiences of bisexual, gay, and transgender students.

Summary: This study investigated the national prevalence of anterior T wave inversion (TWI) in adolescents, as well as the ST segment morphology and factors predicting TWI persistence after the age of 16. The results showed that TWI is common in adolescents, especially in females and female athletes. Only 0.2% of cases persist after the age of 16. The study also found that chest wall anatomy in females may explain this phenomenon.

Priming cardiac function with voluntary respiratory maneuvers and effect on early exercise oxygen uptake

Frederic Stucky, Timothy W. Churchill, Jessica L. Churchill, Bradley J. Petek, James Sawalla Guseh, Meagan M. Wasfy, Bengt Kayser, Aaron L. Baggish

Summary: This study demonstrates that different breathing maneuvers can enhance both right and left-sided cardiac output in healthy individuals. Performing these maneuvers immediately before exercise results in an increase in oxygen uptake (V̇O2) prior to exercise and a subsequent decrease in V̇O2 during early exercise. These findings suggest that pre-exercise breathing maneuvers may be a promising tool to improve exercise tolerance in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Summary: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, and early diagnosis is crucial for better survival rates. However, there are currently no clinical quality measures in the US to assess the timeliness and quality of lung cancer diagnosis. By using Natural Language Processing (NLP), this study extracted information on symptoms and signs from electronic medical records of patients with lung cancer. The findings revealed that the time interval from the first recorded symptoms to diagnosis was on average 570 days, while the intervals from chest imaging and specialist consultation to diagnosis were shorter.

Summary: Imaging tests are commonly used in healthcare, but concerns about their overuse have overshadowed their benefits in clinical decision-making. This study demonstrates the importance of considering patient-centered outcomes (PCOs) when evaluating the value of imaging tests. The PROD framework categorizes PCOs into four main domains and highlights the interplay between them and the factors that can modify them.
