ECG and morphologic adaptations in Arabic athletes: are the European Society of Cardiology's recommendations for the interpretation of the 12-lead ECG appropriate for this ethnicity?
Nathan R Riding,Othman Salah,Sanjay Sharma,François Carré,Keith George,Abdulaziz Farooq,Bruce A. Hamilton,Hakim Chalabi,Gregory P. Whyte,Mathew G Wilson +9 more
TL;DR: Arabic athletes present significantly smaller cardiac dimensions than Black African and Caucasian athletes and the use of ESC guidelines for the interpretation of an athlete's ECG is clinically relevant and acceptable for use within Arabic athletes.

Significance of deep T-wave inversions in asymptomatic athletes with normal cardiovascular examinations: practical solutions for managing the diagnostic conundrum.
Mathew G Wilson,Sanjay Sharma,F. Carré,Philippe Charron,Patrick Richard,Rory O'Hanlon,S. K. Prasad,Hein Heidbuchel,Josep Brugada,Othman Salah,Mary N. Sheppard,Keith George,Greg Whyte,B. Hamilton,Hakim Chalabi +14 more
TL;DR: A systematic review of the prevalence of T-wave inversion in athletes and its relationship to structural heart disease, notably HCM and ARVC is examined with a view to identify young athletes at risk of SCD during sport.

TL;DR: Positive associations were observed between 25(OH)D and IVSd, LVIDd, posterior wall thickness during diastole, LVM, and LVvolD in athletes but not in the control participants, and following logarithmic transformation adjusting 25( OH)D for age, body surface area, ethnicity, and athletic participation.

Do big athletes have big hearts? Impact of extreme anthropometry upon cardiac hypertrophy in professional male athletes.
Nathan R Riding,Othman Salah,Sanjay Sharma,François Carré,Rory O'Hanlon,Keith George,Bruce Hamilton,Hakim Chalabi,Gregory P. Whyte,Mathew G Wilson +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of cardiac structure in professional male athletes with a BSA>2.3 m2 found Black African ethnicity was associated with larger cardiac dimensions than either Caucasian or West Asian ethnicity, and established upper limits for physiological cardiac hypertrophy of 14 mm for maximal wall thickness and 65”mm for LVIDd are clinically appropriate for all athletes.

Differences in markers of cardiovascular disease between professional football players of West-Asian and Black African descent.
TL;DR: West-Asian players had a greater number of markers for CVD than their Black African counterparts despite being matched for physical activity levels, and targeted education with regards to diet, lifestyle and tobacco use is required for both ethnicities.
