Article Synopsis
  • T wave inversion (TWI) on ECG is common in athletes and can signal either harmless changes or serious heart issues, requiring careful interpretation.
  • Understanding TWI involves considering its location, associated symptoms, and patient demographics, which help differentiate between physiological adaptations and pathological conditions.
  • The management of athletes with TWI includes thorough diagnostic evaluations, follow-ups, and careful considerations regarding sports participation to prioritize athlete safety without excessive restrictions.

Nearly 35 years after its initial publication in 1989, the Italian Society of Sports Cardiology and the Italian Federation of Sports Medicine (FMSI), in collaboration with other leading Italian Cardiological Scientific Associations (ANCE - National Association of Outpatient Cardiology, ANMCO - National Association of Inpatient Cardiology, SIC - Italian Society of Cardiology), proudly present the 2023 version of the Cardiological Guidelines for Competitive Sports Eligibility. This publication is an update of the previous guidelines, offering a comprehensive and detailed guide for the participation of athletes with heart disease in sports. This edition incorporates the latest advances in cardiology and sports medicine, providing current information and recommendations.

The problem of Power Quality analysis is becoming crucial to ensuring the proper functioning of complex systems and big plants. In this regard, it is essential to rapidly detect anomalies in voltage and current signals to ensure a prompt response and maximize the system's availability with the minimum maintenance cost. In this paper, anomaly detection algorithms based on machine learning, such as One Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM), Isolation Forest (IF), and Angle-Based Outlier Detection (ABOD), are used as a first tool for rapid and effective clustering of the measured voltage and current signals directly on-line on the sensing unit.

We present a novel decision-making framework for accelerated degradation tests and predictive maintenance that exploits prior knowledge and experimental data on the system's state. As a framework for sequential decision making in these areas, dynamic programming and reinforcement learning are considered, along with data-driven degradation learning when necessary. Furthermore, we illustrate both stochastic and machine learning degradation models, which are integrated in the framework, using data-driven methods.

Article Synopsis
  • Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is essential for screening athletes, particularly those under 40 with symptoms or family histories related to cardiac issues, as well as in follow-up cases of cardiovascular disease.
  • It is a cost-effective imaging tool for assessing heart changes from intense training (the athlete's heart) and for identifying serious conditions that could lead to sudden cardiac death, such as cardiomyopathies.
  • An expert opinion from the Italian Society of Sports Cardiology highlights scenarios for TTE use, differentiating between normal and abnormal heart adaptations, and recommends a standardized dataset for reporting TTE findings in sports cardiology.
