Overview

Narrative review highlights exercise stress testing's role in diagnosing syncope in athletes, suggesting improved risk stratification and decision-making.

Key Points

  • MAIN FINDING: Exercise stress testing is crucial for evaluating exertional syncope in athletes to identify potential cardiac issues.
  • KEY EVIDENCE: 15-25% of athletes experience arrhythmic or ischemic findings during sport-specific stress tests, with negative predictive values near 95%.
  • APPROACH: This narrative review synthesized evidence from observational studies and clinical guidelines up to 2025 concerning athletic populations.
  • SIGNIFICANCE: Individualized testing protocols integrated with comprehensive assessments enhance diagnostic accuracy for athlete safety.
