  • Title: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in athletes: diagnosis, management, and recommendations for sport activity.
    Author: Basso C, Corrado D, Thiene G.
    Journal: Cardiol Clin; 2007 Aug; 25(3):415-22, vi. PubMed ID: 17961795.
    Abstract:
    This article examines the role of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia in causing sudden death in young competitive athletes and suggests a prevention strategy based on identification of affected athletes at preparticipation screening. Systematic cardiovascular screening (including 12-lead ECG) of all subjects embarking on sports activity has the potential to identify those athletes at risk and to reduce mortality.
