Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

cardiovasculaire screening of athletes and sports officials is essential for preventing sudden cardiac death during physical activity. In 2019, the French Football Federation (FFF) introduced mandatory transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for amateur referees over 18 years old, to improve early detection of cardiovascular abnormalities.

This retrospective observational study investigates the diagnostic value of systematic TTE in detecting structural or functional cardiac anomalies among adult amateur referees affiliated with the Normandy Football League.

The primary objective is to estimate the prevalence of cardiac abnormalities diagnosed by TTE in this population. The secondary objectives include identifying the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), and describing the abnormalities found during the medical evaluation
