Athletic heart syndrome (AHS) is a non- pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal. The athlete's heart is associated with physiological cardiac remodeling as a consequence of repetitive cardiac loading. [3] Athlete's heart is common in athletes ...
Eccentric hypertrophy is generally regarded as healthy, or physiologic hypertrophy and is often termed "athlete's heart." It is the normal response to healthy exercise or pregnancy, [6] which results in an increase in the heart's muscle mass and pumping ability. It is a response to 'volume-overload', either as a result of increased blood return ...
Up to 1 in 200 people [8] Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, or HOCM when obstructive) is a condition in which muscle tissues of the heart become thickened without an obvious cause. [8] The parts of the heart most commonly affected are the interventricular septum and the ventricles. [10]
According to the National Library of Medicine, reports suggest that approximately 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 80,000 student-athletes die of sudden cardiac death each year.
A student athlete was diagnosed with myocarditis after receiving his COVID-19 vaccine, but here's why experts don't want people to worry. A student athlete’s TikTok went viral after he developed ...
Sudden cardiac death of athletes. It remains a difficult medical challenge to prevent the sudden cardiac death of athletes, typically defined as natural, unexpected death from cardiac arrest within one hour of the onset of collapse symptoms, excluding additional time on mechanical life support. [1] (. Wider definitions of sudden death are also ...
Heart attacks are rising among younger people with no traditional risk factors. After this 38-year-old's heart stopped during a triathlon, his doctors looked for more clues. Triathlete, 38, had a ...
Ventricular remodeling. In cardiology, ventricular remodeling (or cardiac remodeling) [1] refers to changes in the size, shape, structure, and function of the heart. This can happen as a result of exercise (physiological remodeling) or after injury to the heart muscle (pathological remodeling). [2] The injury is typically due to acute ...
