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

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

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

ESC 2020: EAST – AFNET 4 Study
Author(s): Paulus Kirchhof Added: 3 years ago
Prof Paulus Kirchhof (University Heart and Vascular Center UKE Hamburg, Hamburg, DE) discusses results of the EAST – AFNET 4 Study. The study prospectively tests the hypothesis that an early, structured rhythm control therapy based on antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation can prevent atrial fibrillation (AF) related complications in patients with AF when compared to usual care. Questions… View more

AHA 22: EAST-AFNET4: Rhythm Control Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation
Author(s): Shino Kany Added: 1 year ago
AHA 22 - Dr Shino Kany (Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA, US) joins us to discuss the association of genetic risk and outcomes in patients receiving early rhythm control therapy for atrial fibrillation in the EAST-AFNET 4 trial. EAST-AFNET 4 aimed to compare early rhythm control to usual care amongst patients with a recent diagnosis of atrial fibrillation, randomised in a 1:1… View more
