With Harald Jorstad, Amsterdam UMC - The Netherlands and Michael Papadakis, St. George’s, University of London and St George’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London - UK.      In this podcast, Dr Harald Jorstad (Amsterdam UMC, The Netherlands) is joined by Professor Michael Papadakis (St. George’s, University of London and St George’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK) to discuss risk stratification in sports cardiology. 

Dr. Harald Jorstad and Dr. Maria Sanz de la Garza discuss the role of imaging in diagnosing cardiomyopathies and coronary artery disease, and the challenges in evaluating athletes. They highlight the use of echocardiography and CMR for diagnosis, identification of pathological features, and differentiation between cardiomyopathies. The evaluation of myocardial patterns, including diastolic function and hypertrophy mechanical dispersion, is also explored.

In this podcast, Dr Harald Thune Jørstad (Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and Assoc. Prof. Flavio D’Ascenzi (University of Siena, Siena, Italy) discuss exercise prescription in athletes with cardiomyopathies.

Cardiologist Stefano Nistri and professor Luigi P. Badano discuss tricuspid insufficiency for general cardiologists, exploring its prevalence, impact, and factors contributing to its development. They emphasize the importance of evaluating the right atrium and differentiating tricuspid regurgitation from pulmonary hypertension. Accurate measurements and assessment of tricuspid insufficiency in echocardiograms are crucial. The podcast also covers the evaluation, referral, and treatment processes for tricuspid insufficiency and related issues in the aorta and atrium.
