*Parental verification is recom mended for high school and middle school athletes. †Judged notto be neurocardiogenic(vasovagal); of particular concern when related to exertion. ‡Auscultation should be performed in both supine and standing positions (or with Valsalva maneuver),specifically toidentify murmurs of dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. :Preferably taken in both arms.37

Assessing CHD risk: men
Pre-participation Evaluation Resting ECG: Recoomended by ESC/IOC, but not the AHA
guidelines Detection of HOCM, channelopathy etc.
Treadmill stress test: Recommended for older athletes esp. at high risk
Echocardiogram: Cardiomyopathy: hypertrophic / RV dyplasia Valvular: AS, MVP, Aortic root dilatation Coronary anomaly
