In a study of patients with COVID-19 who underwent cardiac MRI, among the signs of cardiac involvement in COVID-19 were cardiac symptoms, ECG abnormalities and cardiac biomarker elevations.The ...

Athletes with abnormal ECG patterns should continue to be monitored, Dr. Antonio Pelliccia and colleagues write in The New England Journal of Medicine.

An abnormal ECG in a young, highly trained athlete might represent the initial expression of underlying cardiomyopathy, a new study suggests, and might not simply be the benign expression of ...

More than 20% of young non-athletes have electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns that can be considered potentially pathological.

Researchers found that male athletes were nearly 3 times more likely to have distinctly abnormal ECG patterns, while mildly abnormal patterns were similar in males and females.

An EKG records the waves of activity and its pattern, which is labeled with letters Q and T. Doctors look for the appropriate intervals between each letter, showing that the heart's electrical ...

Background/aim The international governing body for competitive rowing recently mandated the inclusion of 12-lead ECG during preparticipation screening. We therefore sought to describe normative ECG ...

Brugada syndrome patients have an abnormal electrocardiogram and are at increased risk for serious abnormal rhythms of the heart, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Abnormal ECG findings were more common in female athletes compared with male athletes, according to a study published in JAMA Cardiology. “Exercise-induced cardiac remodeling is the process by ...

Pelliccia says: "Black athletes have a disproportionately higher probability of showing abnormal ECG patterns compared with their white teammates and, specifically, of presenting those alterations ...

This article describes ECG findings present in primary electrical diseases afflicting young athletes and outlines appropriate steps for further evaluation of these ECG abnormalities. The ECG findings ...

(HealthDay)—More than 20 percent of young non-athletes have electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns that can be considered potentially pathological based on the 2010 European Society of Cardiology ...
