What are the current status and future prospects of different cardiac imaging modalities in assessing athlete's heart?

Population

Athletes undergoing evaluation for cardiac morphological and functional changes (athlete's heart)

Intervention

Cardiac imaging modalities including echocardiography (Doppler, speckle-tracking), cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), cardiac computed tomography (CCT), and hemodynamic forces analysis

Outcome

Assessment of cardiac structure, function, and differentiation of athlete's heart from pathological conditionssurrogate

This review highlights the respective advantages and limitations of multimodality imaging, emphasizing echocardiography as the first-line tool and CMR for complex differentiation in sports cardiology.

Limitations

Echocardiography has low spatial resolution, suboptimal image quality in some subjects, and inter-observer variability.
Cardiac magnetic resonance is less accessible, more expensive, and has relatively limited temporal resolution.
Cardiac computed tomography involves ionizing radiation exposure and high costs.

Zholshybek et al. (2023) conducted a review in Athlete's heart. Cardiac imaging modalities (Echocardiography, CMR, CCT) was evaluated. Various cardiac imaging modalities, including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance, are essential for characterizing the athlete's heart and differentiating physiological adaptations from pathological conditions.
