Key result
Review outlines the pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and counseling strategies for palpitations in athletes.
Why the study?
Palpitations are common in athletes and, while often benign, may indicate underlying cardiac pathology presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiology, diagnostic evaluation, and management strategies for palpitations in the athletic population.
May aid evaluation of palpitations in athletes; leaves open need for prospective validation.
Palpitations are a common reason for athletes to seek medical care. Although often benign, palpitations may serve as a harbinger for underling cardiac pathology. Given the unique challenges in this population, this review will serve to discuss the basic underlying pathophysiology, which may predispose athletes to palpitations. In addition, we will review the aetiologies, diagnostic evaluation, management and counselling strategies for some of the most common diagnoses seen in athletes.
