Key result
Sports-related sudden cardiac death is primarily caused by coronary artery disease in athletes over 35 and sudden arrhythmic death syndrome in those under 35.
Why the study?
Incorrectly performed exercise can lead to negative cardiovascular side effects such as sports-related sudden cardiac death, prompting a review to identify its causes and prevention.
Sports-related sudden cardiac death has distinct age-dependent etiologies (CAD in older athletes, SADS in younger athletes) and highlights the importance of preparticipation screening and individualized exercise approaches.
Supports age-specific etiologies in sports SCD; leaves open prospective validation of screening strategies.
One of the advantages of exercise/physical exercise is improvement of cardiovascular health, however if exercise is done incorrectly, it can lead to negative side-effects that are detrimental to the health of cardiovascular system. One of these side-effects is Sudden Cardiac Death (SDC) or Sprots-related Sudden Cardiac Death (SrSCD). The purpose of this literature review is to find out the cause of SrSCD dan how to prevent it. This Study finds that SrSCD occurs mostly in athletes aged >35 and the majority cause is due to coronary arterial disease (CAD), while in athletes aged <35 the majority cause is due to sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS). SCD can be prevented by doing preparticipation screening, using the “start low, go slow” approach in exercise, following an exercise program that fits to the individual health condition, and management of risk factors.

Muhammad Gazi Yasargil (2022) conducted a review in Sports-related Sudden Cardiac Death (SrSCD). Exercise was evaluated. Sports-related sudden cardiac death is primarily caused by coronary artery disease in athletes over 35 and sudden arrhythmic death syndrome in those under 35.
