Why the study?
Prolonged exercise causes cardiac remodelling and athlete's heart is a risk factor for atrial arrhythmias, but the impact of this remodelling on the presentation of AVNRT needed evaluation.
Does athlete status alter the presentation and ablation outcomes of AVNRT compared to non-athletes?
Does athlete status alter the presentation and ablation outcomes of AVNRT compared to non-athletes?
Athletes with AVNRT present more frequently with atypical subforms and experience higher long-term recurrence rates after ablation compared to non-athletes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Atypical AVNRT may warrant consideration in athletes; leaves open whether remodelling affects ablation outcomes or recurrence.
