Abstract

Charlotte Jackson*

Cardiac arrhythmias, including both benign and life-threatening variations, pose a unique challenge in the context of athletes. Competitive sports require a high level of cardiovascular fitness, but this level of activity can also potentially exacerbate underlying cardiac conditions. This research article provides an overview of cardiac arrhythmias in athletes, emphasizing the importance of risk assessment and management strategies. We discuss the various types of arrhythmias, their prevalence in athletes, risk factors, diagnostic tools, and treatment options. The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how to safeguard the health and well-being of athletes while promoting their active lifestyles.
