VENTRICULAR REPOLARIZATION MEASURES IN PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR ATHLETES WITH HIGH NORMAL ARTERIAL PRESSURE.

There is merely little data regarding changes in repolarization among professional athletes with prehypertension, especially in comparison with amateur athletes. It was previously shown that disturbances of repolarization may have an important role in the development of cardiac changes in athletes and be observed in a number of conditions, such as ventricular hypertrophy, channelopathies, and aortic aneurysm. Therefore, in this study, it has been aimed to compare the ventricular repolarization measures in professional and amateur athletes with high normal arterial pressure.

[FEATURES OF EARLY REPOLARIZATION SYNDROME DEPENDING ON EVIDENCES OF HEART HYPERTROPHY IN PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES].

A syndrome of early repolarization, common in professional athletes, has recently been considered as a possible predictor of acute arrhythmias. It is known that for this category of young people the development of compensatory hypertrophy of the heart is also common. The aim of the study was to investigate the features of early ventricular repolarization in professional athletes, depending on the presence of signs of cardiac hypertrophy.
