Nonischemic left ventricular scar and cardiac sudden death in the young

TLDR
Nonischemic left ventricular scar (NLVS) is a pattern of myocardial injury characterized by midventricular and/or subepicardial gadolinium hyperenhancement at cardiac magnetic resonance, in absence of significant coronary artery disease.

Sudden death in athletes.

TL;DR: Screening including the ECG allows identification of athletes affected by heart muscle diseases at a pre-symptomatic stage and may lead to reduction of the risk of SCD during sports, and the use of modern criteria for interpretation of the ECGs in the athlete offers the potential to improve the screening accuracy.

Predictive value of exercise testing in athletes with ventricular ectopy evaluated by cardiac magnetic resonance

TL;DR: Pathological myocardial substrates on CMR were observed significantly more often in athletes with EIVA than in those with non-EIVA, and identified the subgroup of athletes with the highest probability of CMR abnormalities.

Screening young athletes for diseases at risk of sudden cardiac death: role of stress testing for ventricular arrhythmias.

TL;DR: The addition of exercise testing for the evaluation of VA inducibility to history, physical examination and ECG resulted in an increase of the diagnostic yield of PPE at the expense of an increase in false-positive findings.

Diagnostic Criteria, Genetics, and Molecular Basis of Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy.

TL;DR: The routine use of contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance increasingly revealed left dominant AC, a variant that is not well addressed in the diagnostic criteria and still escapes clinical identification.

Sudden deaths in young competitive athletes: analysis of 1866 deaths in the United States, 1980-2006.

TL;DR: In this national registry, the absolute number of cardiovascular sudden deaths in young US athletes was somewhat higher than previous estimates but relatively low nevertheless, with a rate of <100 per year.

Does sports activity enhance the risk of sudden death in adolescents and young adults

TL;DR: Sports activity in adolescents and young adults was associated with an increased risk of SD, both in males and females, and was strongly related to underlying cardiovascular diseases such as congenital coronary artery anomaly, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and premature coronary artery disease.

Delayed enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies

TL;DR: The potential of DE-CMR to distinguish between ischaemic and NICM as well as to differentiate non-ischaemic aetiologies is reviewed, to demonstrate how this approach is based on the underlying relationships between contrast enhancement and myocardial pathophysiology.
