Implication

Establishes reference VCG values in young athletes; leaves open their SCD risk association and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Population

140 skiers (mean age 19.2 ± 3.5 years; 66% male, 94% white; 53% professional athletes)

Intervention

Vectorcardiographic (VCG) metrics derived from resting 12-lead ECGs

Outcome

Vectorcardiographic (VCG) metrics including T peak magnitude, spatial QRS-T angle, SAI QRST, and peak SVG vector magnitudesurrogate

Vectorcardiographic metrics in young athletes vary by sex and athletic performance, and can differentiate physiological LVH from RVH voltage patterns.
