The Impact of Ethnicity on Cardiac Adaptation
Author(s): Uchenna Ozo , Sanjay Sharma Added: 3 years ago
Athletes may occasionally succumb to sudden cardiac arrest because of a quiescent cardiac abnormality. These catastrophes are rare, affecting between 1 in 17,000 to 1 in 50,000 athletes, depending on the sporting discipline.1,2 Most deaths affect male athletes participating in explosive sports of a start–stop nature, such as basketball and soccer, and occur during or immediately after exercise.1… View more

Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes
Author(s): Andrew D’Silva , Michael Papadakis Added: 3 years ago
The evidence supporting the beneficial effects of physical activity on health is compelling. Regular exercise reduces cardiovascular mortality by 35 % and all-cause mortality by 33 %1 and confers an average of 7 years greater longevity.2 Most professional athletes, however, undertake doses of exercise that far exceed those recommended by the current evidence, which has been adopted by national… View more

Prevention & Chronic Conditions
Author(s): Mathias Goyen Added: 3 years ago
Atherosclerosis is a generalised disease and contributes to cardiac death, stroke, limb loss and a range of other illnesses. Disease in the major arteries, including the infra-renal abdominal aorta, internal iliac arteries, renal arteries and peripheral vasculature, remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. For example, the prevalence of disease in the infra-renal abdominal aorta ranges… View more

Management of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in the Elderly
Author(s): Béatrice Brembilla-Perrot Added: 3 years ago
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is associated with atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, but a patient showing a pre-excitation syndrome on electrocardiogram (ECG) may remain asymptomatic. The main problem is that some of these asymptomatic patients or patients with re-entrant tachycardia are at risk of sudden death.1 The studies of patients with aborted sudden death indicated that in… View more

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Athletes
Author(s): Aneil Malhotra , Sanjay Sharma Added: 3 years ago
Athletes who perform regular and intensive exercise regimes develop a variety of electrical and structural cardiac adaptations that manifest functionally to improve stroke volume and performance. Up to one-fifth of young athletes (aged between 14–35 years) reveal greater left ventricular (LV) wall thickness compared to sedentary controls, though the majority fall under 12 mm.1,2 A small… View more
