Talk:Athletic heart syndrome

note
I've not come across any evidence that left-ventrical hypertrophy causes high blood pressure in athletes. Is there a citation to the contrary? The consensus seems to be that Athlete's Heart is a benign adaption to exercise, with the main obvious sympton being a reduced resting pulse (< 60bpm), and not a medical condition that needs treatment. There appears to be no correlation with elevated blood-pressure at rest.

differences between athlete's heart and pathology?
Both athletes and patiënts had the same cause: ventricular hypertrophia. Yet the athletes don't suffer from this. What are the exact adaptation mechanisms? I can remember two adaptation mechanisms: stronger hear(muscle) and more coronair capillaries. It would be great if someone would write more about this adaptation process. (false) Read the Hypertrophy page, as far as I know, the adaptation process is similar, however the athlete's heart gets a break at the end of the work out, and  so gets to heal etc. People with chronic cardiovascular conditions have a non ending increased demand on the heart, and so frequently wear the heart out, as it never gets a break, and as a result takes more cumulative damage. sign your discussion eximo (talk) 02:47, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

merging?
Shouldn't this article be merged with the one on Athletic Heart? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.224.188 (talk) 23:00, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, yes it should. Unnachamois (talk) 22:22, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I have done a cut and paste merge of the two pages, and pointed all links to Athletic Heart to this page. The two need to be edited together still though.Forbes72 (talk) 02:04, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

quality scale
With the addition of the old "Athletic Heart" article this page got a lot more material. It's got more sources and the breadth to be a much better article, but it still needs a lot of cleanup. (the run-on paragraph under treatment, lack of sub-headings, etc.) I've changed the quality rating to C to reflect this.Forbes72 (talk) 04:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The new MeSH term
A MeSH term was recently assigned. Where and how to include it? —MistyMorn (talk) 21:49, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Better/extra picture?
Perhaps there could be a picture comparing the size of the athletic heart to that of a more sedentary heart? Myoglobin (talk) 02:07, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
