Sport-related sudden cardiac death
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-80446-6 (ISBN)
In most cases these diseases do not produce major symptoms and do not preclude sports activity even at the highest levels, although they do increase the incidence of sudden death. How to discover these diseases in asymptomatic athletes is a hotly debated issue. In particular, there is controversy as to whether all athletes should undergo detailed medical screening, including electrocardiogram, or whether the costs of this screening are too high in relation to the event incidence.
The purpose of this book is to accurately analyze the causes of sudden death in athletes and to provide cardiologists and sports physicians with useful tips on how to identify at-risk individuals.
lt;p>Pietro Delise is a cardiologist and an expert on Sport Cardiology. A Past President of the Italian Society of Sport Cardiology (SIC Sport), he is currently Director of the official journal of SIC Sport: Journal of Sport Cardiology. He has published over 200 articles in Italian and international journals, and has authored ten books on arrhythmias, ablation, and sudden death in athletes. He was the first in Italy (February 1990) to perform trancatheter ablation surgery with radiofrequency of the abnormal route in the WPW. Since 1990 he has performed over 1500 ablative sessions in various types of arrhythmias.
Paolo Zeppilli is an expert on Cardiology and Sports Medicine. His work mainly focuses on athlete's heart and cardiovascular diseases (valvulopathies, cardiomyopathies) responsible for sudden death in young athletes, particularly in the field of congenital coronary anomalies. He was a Founder Member and Past President of the Italian Society of Sport Cardiology (SIC Sport). He was Full Professor of Methods and Didactics of Motor Activities (Sports Medicine) and Chief of Post-graduate School of Sports Medicine for two decades at the Catholic University of Rome.
