Week 4 The Athletes Heart Flashcards

1
Q

is left ventricular hypertrophy healthy or normal for people?

A

ye, if it is reversible. Aerobically trained individuals can have this.

Q

what happens with left ventricular hypertrophy

A

the wall is thicker, and the cavity size is thicker, so there can be more filling, and then more CO when the HR is high

Q

what happens when we have syncope with exercise ?

A

this is more concerning, as this is related to things like HCOM, arrhythmogenic right cardiomyopathy.

Q

how does syncope even happen

A

you stop exercising, suddenly. But you are still vasodilated. you also stop having the muscle pumping returning blood to the heart, and you decrease the preload. So the pressure will drop pretty dramatically.

Q

what happens with acute, post exercise RV remodeling

A

you get an elevation in proBNP and cardiac troponin T levels, which can exceed the threshold to diagnosis an MI. you can get this in a non elite runner, like after a marathon, or even in ultra marathon runners. But it reverses

Q

what happens with chronic, post exercise RV remodeling

A

you get the accumulation of calcium in the coronary artery, and myocardium fibrosis. the fibrosis comes from episodic volume and pressure overload, and you can get a-fib.

20
Q

what age range has the most SCD deaths

A

40-60

21
Q

what are some causes of SCD

A 
structural anomalias 
acquired anomalies (infection, trauma, toxicity, enviro)
electrical anomalies
22
Q

what is HCOM

A

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

23
Q

TF: HCOM has a strong genetic link

A

true

24
Q

in HCOM, how does the ejection murmur change with position

A

it is soften in sitting and squatting, and amplified with standing and valsalva

25
Q

in HCOM, what happens to the splitting S2

A

the splitting is permanent, and does not change with breath holds.

26
Q

TF: you never get an S4 with HCOM

A

false, you can, if it is stiff enough and big enough.

27
Q

is hypertrophy of the heart normal? what makes HCOM abnormal.

A

normally, you see a decrease in size when you detrain. In HCOM, you do not see this decrease in size.

28
Q

what are two signs we see during exercise if you have HCOM

A

syncope and dyspnea.

29
Q

does HCOM increase or decrease your ability to deliver O2

A

decreases

30
Q

how do coronary anomalies play into SCD

A

you have anomalies in the vessels, that when you exercise, they are compressed, and blood flow in impaired. Then, you can get an arrhythmia.

31
Q

what is a myocardial bridge

A

this is when an epicardial coronary artery is tunneled in the myocardium, and there is a compression of the tunneled segment. most people are asymptomatic, or can have chest discomfort and ECGs are usually normal.

32
Q

how does a stress test affect someone with myocardial bridge

A

can induce non specific signs of ischemia, or disturbances and arrhythmia.

33
Q

what are some of the complications of having a myocardial bridge

A

you can get ischemia, angina, MI, dysfunction of the chambers, AV node blocks and even tachy.

34
Q

what is Marfans syndrome

A

a gene mutation that causes the overproduction of transforming growth factor beta (TGF beta).

35
Q

what kind of cardio disorders are found in people with marfans

A

aortic ruptures or teats, mitral valve prolapse, or regurgitation, and arrhythmia.

36
Q

what is commotio cordis

A

this is sudden blunt impact to the chest that can cause sudden death. usually in baseball, or anything that can attack you

37
Q

commotion cordis triggers…

A

ventricular fibrillation

38
Q

how can we prevent commotio cordis

A

by using shields and having AEDs on site. also, educating kids and coaches to turn away from a ball that is coming at you.

39
Q

what does exercise do to your chance of dying, when you are an older adult

A

it decreases it.

40
Q

what happens to all cause mortality when people begin walking

A

decreases

41
Q

according to the AHA screening recommendations, what age group should be screened

A

12 -25 year olds,

42
Q

does the AHA support the usage of ECG screenings

A

no, but they should. they do not because they cost money and you can get false positives.

43
Q

does the risk of SCD decrease when you get an ECG

A

yes

44
Q

what is the most common cause of SCD in patients less than 35

A

HCOM

45
Q

in HCOM, the ECG is abnormal what percent of the time

A

90%

46
Q

what are some positive findings in athletes ECG

A

Brady, arrhythmia, ectopic atrial rhythms, first degree AV node block, and second degree too, early repolarization.

47
Q

in Italy, they mandate screening, and their SCD increases or decreases

A

decreases.

48
Q

for someone who has never exercised before, we should gradually increase activity starting at what MET

A

3, so this is like walking.

49
Q

what else does this implicate for PT

A

we should do submax, take it easy on exercise intensity with patients. know CPRs, have AED and climate control the facility.
