Utility of Genetic Testing in Elite Volleyball Players with Aortic Root Dilation.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise - 1 Jul 2017

Herrick Nicole, Davis Christopher, Vargas Lisa, Dietz Hal, Grossfeld Paul

Abstract excerpt

Basketball and volleyball attract individuals with a characteristic biophysical profile, mimicking features of Marfan syndrome. Consequently, identification of these abnormalities can be lifesaving. PURPOSE: To determine how physical examination, echocardiography, and genetic screening can identify elite volleyball players with a previously undiagnosed aortopathy. METHODS: We have performed cardiac screening on...
