Why the study?
Do refined ECG screening criteria reduce false-positive ECGs compared to current criteria in elite Black and White athletes?
Do refined ECG screening criteria reduce false-positive ECGs compared to current criteria in elite Black and White athletes?
Refining ECG screening criteria can reduce the burden of false-positive ECGs in elite athletes, particularly Black athletes.
May support refined ECG criteria to reduce false positives in athletes; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Refinement of current ECG screening criteria has the potential to significantly reduce the burden of false-positive ECGs in athletes, particularly BAs.
