Item Interassociation Consensus Statement on Cardiovascular Care of College Student-Athletes(American College of Cardiology Foundation, 2016-04) Hainline, Brian; Drezner, Jonathan; Baggish, Aaron; Harmon, Kimberly G.; Emery, Michael S.; Myerburg, Robert J.; Sanchez, Eduardo; Molossi, Silvana; Parsons, John T.; Thompson, Paul D.; Kinesiology, School of Physical Education and Tourism ManagementCardiovascular evaluation and care of college student-athletes is gaining increasing attention from both the public and medical communities. Emerging strategies include screening of the general athlete population, recommendations of permissible levels of participation by athletes with identified cardiovascular conditions, and preparation for responding to unanticipated cardiac events in athletic venues. The primary focus has been sudden cardiac death and the utility of screening with or without advanced cardiac screening. The National Collegiate Athletic Association convened a multidisciplinary task force to address cardiovascular concerns in collegiate student-athletes and to develop consensus for an interassociation statement. This document summarizes the task force deliberations and follow-up discussions, and includes available evidence on cardiovascular risk, pre-participation evaluation, and the recognition of and response to cardiac arrest. Future recommendations for cardiac research initiatives, education, and collaboration are also provided.
