Sažetak
Mycarditis and pericarditis may be related with sudden cardiac death/cardiac arrest (SCD/CA) in athletes, not exclusively in those with reduced left ventricular systolic function, but also in subjects with normal cardiac function related to arrhythmias generated in the area of myocardial necrosis and scar. The diagnosis is based on a complete cardiac evaluation (12-lead ECG, echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and endomyocardial biopsy). In this review, we outline the latest recommendations published by the Sport Cardiology Section of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) on sport activity with these patients. It offers recommendations for practicing cardiologists and sport physicians for safe participation in competitive sport at professional and amateur level. Participation in competitive sport should be considered on an individual basis, after the evaluation of the disease characteristics and risk determinants, and complete resolution of the inflammatory process.
