Core Tip	Echocardiography is a helping tool in detecting several cardiovascular (CV) conditions afflicting athletes. As physicians become more experienced with sonography, focused echocardiography by sports medicine physicians may become standard practice in larger screening practices. This technique could help to detect some hidden CV condition and to distinguish between physiological and pathological adaptation to physical activity, assisting in sport eligibility process. In this review we aimed at describing athlete-focused echocardiogram that could be an effective time and cost-saving first line evaluation in granting sport eligibility to athletes.
