Background:

  • The athlete's heart is a physiological adaptation to exercise.
  • Exercise-related cardiac complications and sudden cardiac death pose risks for young athletes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of the athlete's heart in young athletes.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing cardiac risks and implementing preventive measures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on athlete's heart and exercise-related cardiac events.
  • Emphasis on preparticipation evaluations and basic life support training.

Main Results:

  • Identifying major causes of exercise-related cardiac complications and sudden cardiac death is crucial.
  • Annual updates in basic life support skills are recommended for athletic personnel.

    • Conclusions:

    • Awareness and screening for cardiac conditions in young athletes are essential.
    • Training coaches and athletic staff in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can prevent exercise-related cardiac deaths.
