ForwardEchocardiography and Noninvasive Vascular Testing Lecture Series: Echocardiography in Profiling the Athlete’s Heart
Echocardiography has a major role in sports cardiology and it can help physicians to investigate the so-called “grey zones,” defined as diagnostic overlaps between an athlete’s heart and several cardiac diseases.
The use of advanced ultrasound applications such as tissue Doppler and two-dimensional strain, added to the classic echocardiographic assessment, can complete a multiparametric evaluation, guiding the sports physician and cardiologist in the correct framing of these patients.
This educational activity will demonstrate how echocardiography, including color and spectral Doppler imaging, substantially redefines normal remodeling from pre-emergent and overt disease.
Target Audience
Cardiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, echocardiography and noninvasive vascular testing specialists, nurses, sonographers, pharmacists, respiratory therapists

Learning Objectives
- Demonstrate the clinical presentation of probable heart disease in an athlete.
- Identify how morphophysiologic echocardiography may be the most definitive way to classify cardiovascular risk in most athletes.
- Recognize specific features of an athlete’s heart, including the left and right ventricular functions.
