Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common types of cardiac arrhythmias. This review article highlights the problem of the development of atrial fibrillation in individuals engaged in physical activity and sports. Predisposing factors, causes, and development mechanisms of atrial fibrillation in athletes from the perspective of the authors are described. Methods of treatment, as well as prevention of thromboembolic complications, are discussed. Directions for further studies of this problem and prevention of complications are proposed.
Highlights
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common types of cardiac arrhythmias (CA)
The development of arterial hypertension leads to pathological atrial remodeling in the form of dilatation and fibrous degeneration. Such changes occur under the influence of volume overload, which increases during exercise, with the background of tachycardia, and due to ventricular diastolic dysfunction
[48]: Zipes and co-authors believed that athletes expressed at the 36th Conference of Bethesda Hospital [48]: Zipes and co-authors believed that with self-stopping atrial fibrillation without symptoms be admitted to all types oftotraining and athletes with self-stopping atrial fibrillation without could symptoms could be admitted all types of training and competition
Summary
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common types of cardiac arrhythmias (CA). More than a third of hospital admissions to cardiology hospitals are associated with the development of AF and its complications. The detection rate of this CA is about 0.4% in the general population, 80 years old [1]. The mortality among patients with AF is almost two times higher than in patients with sinus rhythm [2]. The incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with AF of a non-rheumatic etiology averages 5% per year, which is 2–7 times higher than that of individuals without AF
