Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the effects of football matches on cardiac stress in veteran players, focusing on the biomarkers cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and B-Type natriuretic peptide (BNP) to evaluate cardiovascular risk.
- Among 112 players, 29% showed elevated cTnI levels post-match, but no correlation was found between these levels and cardiovascular risk factors.
- Follow-up assessments revealed that only a small percentage of players had cardiac abnormalities, suggesting that routine testing of these biomarkers may not enhance cardiovascular screening in this population.
