a comprehensive and pertinent review&#46; Interpretation of the athlete&#39;s echocardiogram &#40;ECG&#41; remains the subject of debate&#44; but beyond the ongoing &#8216;transatlantic&#8217; discussion on whether the ECG should be included in pre-participation screening&#44;

they should&#44; in our opinion&#44; have received greater attention&#44; for three reasons&#46; Firstly&#44; they are based on the analysis of a large sample of elite athletes&#44; and their accuracy was validated in a population of athletes with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy&#46; Secondly&#44; they assume&#44; on the basis of previously published research&#44; that some isolated ECG findings are probably physiological &#40;such as axis deviation or atrial dilatation&#41;&#46;

Secondly&#44; they assume&#44; on the basis of previously published research&#44; that some isolated ECG findings are probably physiological &#40;such as axis deviation or atrial dilatation&#41;&#46;
