Abstract
Can the Heart Get an Overuse Sports Injury?Recent studies suggest that vigorous endurance exercise increases markers of cardiomyocyte injury and that lifelong endurance exercise may increase myocardial scarring, coronary artery atherosclerosis, AF, and aortic dilatation. This review summarizes the evidence linking these conditions with physical exertion and an approach to their management.
