Athlete's heart, a special heart of high Efficiency and high reservation, is the main guarantee for athlete's perfect physical state. Yet in monitoring sports training, we have found that to some extent, some athletes are facing the problems of cardiac structural changes and arrhythmia. This often affects athletes' systematic training and the improvement of athletic performance, which is the vexation of athletes and coaches. Study on sports medicine shows that after intensive training and repeated intensive exercise, some decompensated changes occur in the morphological structures and functional metabolism of cardiac cell and subcellular fraction, which causes athletic myocardial micro-damage. Besides, right atrium, right ventricle and heart tissues beneath endomembrane are the sensitive areas of heart toward intensive training and repeated intensive exercise. These areas are called vulnerable parts. Though athletic myocardial micro-damage has been known and athletic arrhythmia is correlated to athletic myocardial micro-damage, etiology, pathology and pathogenesis are not yet clear. It is difficult to diagnose, predict and prevent athletic myocardial micro-damage and athletic cardiac accident at an early stage. Researches on the hidden heart trouble of some elite athletes prove that there is higher risk of arrhythmia for elite athletes, especially for those who have had many years of specific training. Some athletes have to quit the competitions or retire. Athletic arrhythmia has become one of the main reasons affecting athletes' physical ability, health, training and competition and restricting the improvement of some elite athletes' performance. Some retired athletes are obsessed with permanent heart arrhythmia. The article discusses the types, pathology and pathogenesis of athletic arrhythmia and look into future researches in this regard. The aim of this study is to enhance the researches on electro-production and molecular pathology of athletic arrhythmia so as to avoid the occurrence of cardiovascular accidents, protect athletes' health and stretch athletes' sports career. |
