摘要:

In briefHypertrophic cardiomyopathy brief (HCM) accounts for a large proportion of sudden deaths in young athletes. HCM is a complex disease with a broad clinical and morphologic spectrum. Most patients with HCM have impaired diastolic filling of the left ventricle, and about 25% have left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. Cardiac symptoms and/or signs are often present, and the condition is most effectively identified with echocardiography. Propranolol or verapamil relieves symptoms in many patients; surgery may benefit patients who have outflow obstruction associated with symptoms that persist after pharmacologic therapy. Patients with HCM should not engage in organized competitive sports or particularly strenuous exercise, although moderate recreational exercise is likely to be acceptable for such individuals.

摘要:

Sudden death during exertion is extremely rare. Among adults older than 30, coronary artery disease is the predominant cause of sudden death. Attention to risk factors and premonitory symptoms is the best prevention. Doing the appropriate testing, tailoring exercise programs, and discouraging denial help minimize the risk. But above all, physicians can help keep patients' fears in check so as not to deprive patients of the unquestionable benefits of exercise.

摘要:

Timing, frequency, and types of screening tests can be hot topics of debate among physicians trying to determine how best to evaluate patients for athletic participation. Because of the wide range of opinions concerning many elements of preparticipation physical exams, we brought together three medical experts to discuss a few important aspects of these screenings.
