Key result
Exercise testing improves diagnostic yield for left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy despite normal resting ECG and echo.
Why the study?
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy encompasses diverse phenotypes influenced by sports activity, requiring a review of literature regarding its implications in Sports Cardiology.
Highlights the importance of exercise testing in preparticipation screening to identify left-dominant variants of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and outlines sports participation recommendations.

May support incorporating exercise testing into athlete screening protocols; leaves open the need for prospective validation before practice change.
Graziano et al. (2023) conducted a review in Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Exercise testing empowers the diagnostic yield of preparticipation screening for left-dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy variants, which often present with normal resting ECG and echocardiography.
