The European Association of Preventive
Cardiology (EAPC) and European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) have
released a joint position statement on the recommendations for the indication
and interpretation of cardiovascular imaging in the evaluation of the athlete’s
heart. The goal was “to properly address the determinants of cardiac
remodelling, indications for imaging and clues for differential diagnosis with
cardiac pathology.” They also address a “number of pathologic conditions that
are relevant to the cardiovascular evaluation of the athletes (and were not
included in previous document), such as left-ventricular non-compaction,
myocarditis, mitral valve prolapse, and bicuspid aortic valve”.
