Extreme athleticism and the risk of atrial fibrillation
116 Shares
Consider the following sports icons: tennis legend Billie Jean King, basketball veteran Larry Bird, triathlete Karsten Madsen, baseball pitcher Kenley Jansen, and cyclist champion Haimar Zubeldia.
What do all of these well-known professional athlete heroes have in common? They are athletes with atrial fibrillation, also called AFib. AFib is the most common heart rhythm disorder worldwide, accounting for 750,000 hospitalizations per year in the US alone. It is estimated that 6 million Americans have AFib, and this number will increase exponentially over the next few decades. Traditionally AFib was considered a disease of aging. However, younger patients are now being seen. This includes athletes.
