Five-year observation of a champion athlete demonstrated chronic cardiac changes of athletic heart syndrome, including cardiomegaly and arrhythmias, without impairing severe physical performance.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates that profound structural and electrical cardiac changes in athletic heart syndrome do not preclude elite physical performance and should not be misclassified as cardiac disease.
