Distinct early repolarisation patterns in male Brazilian soccer players: insights from a multicentre study.

Background: Early repolarisation (ER) is commonly observed during cardiovascular screenings of young athletes and can present with various morphologies. However, its prevalence and clinical significance in male Brazilian soccer players have not been characterised. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of different ER patterns and assess their potential clinical significance in this population.

Resting ECG findings in male Brazilian soccer players of different ethnicities: Results from the B-Pro Foot ECG study.

Objectives: To compare the prevalence of training-related ECG findings in white, mixed-race, and black male Brazilian soccer players.

Design: Multicenter observational study.

Methods: This study involved athletes aged 15 to 35 years from 82 professional clubs across Brazil's five regions.

Imaging associations enhance the understanding of ECG abnormalities in male Brazilian football players: findings from the B-Pro Foot ECG study.

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of abnormal ECG findings and their association with imaging results in male Brazilian football players.

Methods: The 'B-Pro Foot ECG' is a multicentre observational study conducted in 82 Brazilian professional clubs. It analysed 6125 players aged 15-35 years (2496 white, 2004 mixed-race and 1625 black individuals) who underwent cardiovascular screening from 2002 to 2023.
