Sudden Death During Basketball Games
Abstract:
In brief Four athletes, aged 16 to 20, died shortly after they collapsed while playing basketball. Preparticipation screening had revealed no cardiac abnormality in three of them. The fourth, who had been advised not to participate in sports, had been treated for hyperlipidemia at age 7 and for exercise-related syncope at age 15. Physicians should make a concerted effort to identify those athletes with risk factors (eg, exertional syncope, chest pain, or dyspnea) through careful history taking and physical examination.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
