Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated cardiac health in elite athletes post-SARS-CoV-2 infection to understand the risks before returning to play.* -
- Among 554 athletes screened, only a few showed potential abnormalities linked to the virus, with very low rates of findings from ECGs, echocardiograms, and exercise tests.* -
- The results suggest that systematic cardiac evaluations may not be necessary for athletes recovering from non-hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 infection, as serious cardiac issues were rare.*
Background: There is a paucity of data on cardiovascular sequelae of asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic SARS-Cov-2 infections (COVID).
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to characterize the cardiovascular sequelae of asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic COVID-19 among high/elite-level athletes.
Methods: 950 athletes (779 professional French National Rugby League (F-NRL) players; 171 student athletes) were included.
MEdical TReatment Optimization in cardiac rehabilitation (METRO study) : a French multicenter study.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is the right place to optimize the medical treatment in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.
Aims: To report the medical management in CAD patients during CR and evaluate the consequences.
Methods: CAD patients who attended a CR program within less than three months of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) were included in a prospective multicenter study.
Background: The new North American guidelines for participation in competitive sport in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are less restrictive than previous guidelines.
Aim: To evaluate the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in men with CAD who practise intensive physical activity after a stenting procedure. MACE included in-stent restenosis (SR), stent thrombosis (ST), new coronary stenosis (NCS), myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiac arrest or cardiac death.
Article Synopsis
- * Among 1500 sportsmen studied, 63% had cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, and 10.9% had positive exercise ECGs mainly indicating SMI, leading to coronary angiography in some cases.
- * The findings suggest that older sportsmen (over 50) and those with higher CVD risk have a greater chance of significant coronary stenosis, indicating that screening through exercise ECG could help lower cardiac event risks in this population.
Background: Cardiovascular events related to high-intensity sport practice are rare but dramatic. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of these events after the age of 35 years. The value of a maximal exercise test (ET) for detection of athletes at risk remains a matter of debate.

Between January 2012 and February 2013, 63 patients took the program at the readaptation center. The program is composed of three sessions a week during seven weeks.
