2015, Journal of ElectrocardiologyCitation Excerpt :Multiple factors that likely influence TWI vary among studies. These include different sporting disciplines, level of fitness at the time of preparticipation evaluation, duration of athletic participation, gender, ethnicity and age [5,12–15,17–20,23,26,28–30,32,39,40]. Further modification of ECG interpretation criteria based on these characteristics, has the potential to decrease false positive rates and improve the cost effectiveness of pre-participation screening with ECG [41].

2013, Cardiac Electrophysiology ClinicsCitation Excerpt :These changes are more commonly described in endurance athletes, as long-distance runners and cyclists (cyclic sports), not occurring frequently in power-training athletes. However, Balady and colleagues38 have found similar results analyzing the ECGs of 289 professional football players (acyclic sport). The mean resting heart rate was 56 beats per minute (bpm), with 77% of the American football players having less than 60 bpm.
Risk of sudden death among young individuals with J waves and early repolarization: Putting the evidence into perspective
2011, Heart RhythmCitation Excerpt :All things considered, the only reasonable clinical implication of the population studies is that patients with J waves should reduce their long-term risk for myocardial infarction by treating modifiable risk factors for coronary artery disease in accordance with practice guidelines for the population in general. The reported prevalence of early repolarization (mainly ST-segment elevation) reported for athletes varies widely across studies.7–11,57 One recent study found that early repolarization (manifesting as J waves or R-wave slurring) was four times more prevalent among athletes with a history of cardiac arrest than among healthy athletes.36
