“…Certainly, limitations exist whereby structural abnormalities such as CAAs are not identified on traditional screening modalities, which largely include a clinical consultation followed by a resting 12-lead ECG. Depending on the setting and screening algorithm in place, the addition of a resting transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) may be the first time a CAA is identified or suspected [ 5 – 7 ].…”

Transthoracic echocardiography is an essential and widely available diagnostic tool for assessing individuals reporting cardiovascular symptoms, monitoring those with established cardiac conditions and for preparticipation screening of athletes. While its use is well-defined in hospital and clinic settings, echocardiography is increasingly being utilised in the community, including in the rapidly expanding sub-speciality of sports cardiology. There is, however, a knowledge and practical gap in the challenging area of the assessment of coronary artery anomalies, which is an important cause of sudden cardiac death, often in asymptomatic athletic individuals. To address this, we present a step-by-step guide to facilitate the recognition and assessment of anomalous coronary arteries using transthoracic echocardiography at the bedside; whilst recognising the importance of performing dedicated cross-sectional imaging, specifically coronary computed tomography (CTCA) where clinically indicated on a case-by-case basis. This guide is intended to be useful for echocardiographers and physicians in their routine clinical practice whilst recognising that echocardiography remains a highly skill-dependent technique that relies on expertise at the bedside.

“…10 Age and sex defined ECG values that include diverse athlete and non-athlete populations, inclusive of exercise training status, test results, and clinical outcomes continue to be needed. Until these data are available (and these studies are in progress 11 ), one of the only possible ways to increase the sensitivity of ECG variables for CV risk is to consider the outliers in the apparently healthy young individuals we screen.…”

Though some controversy remains regarding the place of the 12 lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) in the routine screening of young athletes and how and where the pre-participation examination should be performed, studies continue to support the ECG and properly organized mass screening. The purpose of this paper is to provide brief historical perspective, the experiences at our institution and our view of the future application of computerized Electrocardiography in screening for cardiovascular risk. The focus is on the process and improvement of Electrocardiographic criteria for estimating the cardiovascular risk of young athletes.
