Key result
This systematic review evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of AI-ECG for detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes, but no results were provided in the truncated abstract.
Why the study?
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes requires accurate detection to prevent sudden cardiac events, but distinguishing it from physiological adaptations is challenging.
Does artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) improve diagnostic accuracy for detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes and sports-screening populations?
Systematic Review
Does artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) improve diagnostic accuracy for detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes and sports-screening populations?
This systematic review aims to evaluate whether AI-enhanced ECG can accurately identify occult hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and differentiate it from physiological training adaptations in sports screening.

AI-ECG accuracy for HCM in athletes remains unquantified; leaves open need for validated screening tools before clinical adoption.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a clinically important inherited myocardial disorder in sports cardiology because affected athletes may remain asymptomatic while being at risk of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac events.Cardiovascular screening, therefore, requires the identification of occult HCM while distinguishing pathological disease from physiological adaptations to training.This systematic review evaluated the diagnostic accuracy and external validity of artificial intelligenceenhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) for detecting HCM in athletes and sports-screening populations.PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL,

Quirino et al. (2026) conducted a systematic review in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes. Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) was evaluated. This systematic review evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of AI-ECG for detecting hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes, but no results were provided in the truncated abstract.
