Why the study?
What is the prevalence of training-related ECG patterns and abnormalities in competitive rowers?
What is the prevalence of training-related ECG patterns and abnormalities in competitive rowers?
Training-related ECG patterns are common in competitive rowers, highlighting the need for refined ECG interpretation criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy during preparticipation screening.
May inform rower ECG screening norms; leaves open prospective validation of gender-specific criteria.
Training-related ECG patterns with several gender-based differences are common among competitive rowers. The diagnostic accuracy and down-stream clinical implications of ECG-inclusive preparticipation screening among rowers will be dictated by the choice and future refinement of ECG interpretation criteria.
