Support for the Resumption of Training of High-level Athletes Post-epidemic COVID-19 (ASCCOVID19)
22 juni 2021 bijgewerkt door: University Hospital, Bordeaux
As of March 2020, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, halting athletic competition worldwide.
Reports from China show a high prevalence of cardiac involvement in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. These cardiac forms were found to be closely associated with adverse outcomes. The use of Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) had allowed to show that cardiac dysfunction could be mediated by myocardial inflammation (i.e. myocarditis). The direct implication of the virus was demonstrated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2 being detected on myocardial biopsies in a patient with severe heart failure.
The experience with other viruses causing acute myocarditis shows that there is a high rate of undetected injuries. Indeed, although severe heart failure can be present at the acute stage, acute viral myocarditis is most commonly pauci or asymptomatic, but still leaving occult myocardial scars visible on MRI, and exposing to higher risks of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death over the long term.
Although athletes are younger and have fewer comorbidities than the general population and therefore are at lower risk for severe disease or death, there is a critical and urgent need to assess the prevalence of occult scars in the population of high-level athletes returning to training after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemia.

Experimenteel: High-level athletes
High level athletes are rugby players, intervention unit agents of the National Police, sports students. Definition of a COVID-19 positive subject : Any subject whose serology is positive (IgM and/or IgG) and/or the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) result is positive and/or the questionnaire is positive and/or a new electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality. The COVID-19 negative subjects do not meet the definition of COVID-19 positive subjects. |
An ECG at rest is performed for all participants at Day 0. A centralized reading is performed by one of the 6 expert cardiologists participating in the research.
In case of positive COVID-19 serology and/or positive COVID-19 RT-PCR and/or new ECG abnormality and/or positive questionnaire, a stress test is performed.
In case of positive COVID-19 serology and/or positive COVID-19 RT-PCR and/or new ECG abnormality and/or positive questionnaire, a Cardiac echocardiography is performed.
In case of positive COVID-19 serology and/or positive COVID-19 RT-PCR and/or new ECG abnormality and/or positive questionnaire, a Cardiac rhythm monitoring is performed.
To determine the rhythmic risk of athletes
High resolution MRIs is performed on 200 athletes :
For all athletes included at the D0 inclusion visit, a centralized COVID-19 serology is performed to search for biomarkers associated with the occurrence of myocardial fibrosis: analysis of genetic determinants in relation to cardiac damage. For athletes who have performed MRI: Search for biomarkers associated with the occurrence of myocardial fibrosis: analyses of low-grade inflammation markers (cytokine assay and fibrosis markers). |

In order to compare the prevalence of myocardial fibrosis between COVID-19 positive and COVID-19 negative individuals in high level athletes with or without rhythmic risk, a high resolution MRI is performed.
The examinations is performed on 1.5 or 3T MRI systems equipped with specific antennas for cardiology.
The sequence used to detect occult scars is a late enhancement sequence performed at least 15 minutes after injection of gadolinium salts, using a free-breathing 3D method, for a minimum spatial resolution of 2.5x1.25x1.25mm.
The images are reviewed by a core lab at the Bordeaux University Hospital.
