MiTi: Dr. Astori missed two missed diagnosis and did not check the player s heart, and was sentenced to one year

August 28, the Milan Sports reported that former Fiorentina captain Astori has died for seven years and his doctor was sentenced. The court held that: "If the doctor had conducted the necessary examination at that time, the player could be correctly diagnosed with an implicit disease."

After the verdict of Astori's death case, the reason for the conviction of George Galanti, director of sports medicine at the Careggi Hospital in Florence was also announced. Astori died in Udine on March 4, 2018, seven years ago. The Supreme Court pointed out: "On two different occasions, doctors repeatedly missed the diagnosis, resulting in the failure to discover the potentially fatal disease of the young professional athlete, which led to the tragedy." Galanti was eventually sentenced to one year in prison. The Supreme Court judge explained that if the doctor "prescribed the necessary examination so that the disease was properly diagnosed, Astori's death could have been avoided or at least delayed to a significantly later time point." Sigfrido Finnis, a defense attorney for Dr. Garlandi, commented: "I respect this judgment, but I do not agree that in the determination of causality, the judgment violated the established rules set by the Supreme Court itself." The court judgment report stated that the defendant deviated completely from the standard agreement in the field of sports medicine formulated in 2009. The court held that Astori had already experienced premature ventricular premature beats as early as 2014 and subsequently in 2016 and 2017. Given that it has high-intensity physical training every day, according to good clinical nursing practice, it should be subjected to a deeper cardiac examination even if it does not have a family history and symptoms. Despite this, the doctor issued two certificates without further testing, deeming that the tests were redundant. This behavior led to his conviction for forging documents.

According to observations from 2014, 2016 and 2017, although the athlete has no family history and related symptoms, his arrhythmia should prompt a doctor to conduct a deeper cardiac examination for him, such as 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, to rule out possible pathological properties. However, the doctor issued a health certificate twice, deeming further examinations unnecessary. The judge said the repetitive behavior prevented the diagnosis of the potentially fatal disease.
