520 _aConclusions and Relevance: In sports cardiology, inadequate consideration of the impact of structural racism and SDOH on racial disparities in health outcomes among athletes has resulted in potential biases in current normative standards and in the clinical approach to the cardiovascular care of athletes. An evidence-based approach to successfully address disparities requires pivoting from outdated race-based practices to a race-conscious framework to better understand and improve health care outcomes for diverse athletic populations.
520 _aImportance: Racial disparities in cardiovascular health, including sudden cardiac death (SCD), exist among both the general and athlete populations. Among competitive athletes, disparities in health outcomes potentially influenced by social determinants of health (SDOH) and structural racism remain inadequately understood. This narrative review centers on race in sports cardiology, addressing racial disparities in SCD risk, false-positive cardiac screening rates among athletes, and the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy, and encourages a reexamination of race-based practices in sports cardiology, such as the interpretation of screening 12-lead electrocardiogram findings.
520 _aObservations: Drawing from an array of sources, including epidemiological data and broader medical literature, this narrative review discusses racial disparities in sports cardiology and calls for a paradigm shift in approach that encompasses 3 key principles: race-conscious awareness, clinical inclusivity, and research-driven refinement of clinical practice. These proposed principles call for a shift away from race-based assumptions towards individualized, health-focused care in sports cardiology. This shift would include fostering awareness of sociopolitical constructs, diversifying the medical team workforce, and conducting diverse, evidence-based research to better understand disparities and address inequities in sports cardiology care.
