En Dash

error

"Cardiac MRI is superior to echocardiography with a sensitivity and specificity of 80 and 90% respectively ². It is also useful to differentiate the normal adaptation of the heart to exercise from pathological conditions and to discard acute myocarditis (seen in 5–22% of athletes’ sudden cardiac attack) ¹."
