AI Article Synopsis
- Athletes are usually healthy but can have heart disorders that lead to symptoms like fainting (syncope) during exercise or training.
- Vasovagal syncope is the most frequent cause of fainting in athletes.
- However, fainting related to cardiac issues could indicate a risk of sudden death.
Article Abstract
Athletes are generally healthy but might have certain cardiac disorders which might, during athletic participation or training, result in cardiac symptoms including syncope. Vasovagal syncope is probably the most common cause of syncope in athletes, but syncope in the context of these cardiac disorders might be a warning of sudden death.

Department of Medicine, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, IL, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Anxiety has physical symptoms like palpitations and dizziness, which can lead to severe cardiac events like Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, particularly when coupled with torso stiffness from stress.
- Studying the biomechanics of torso stiffness can help understand how anxiety impacts circulation, as increased stiffness limits venous return and decreases cardiac output.
- Engaging in playful aerobic activities and practicing proper breathing may alleviate anxiety by reducing torso stiffness and improving overall circulation, thus protecting the cardiopulmonary system.
