OBJECTIVES: This study describes the cardiac phenotypes and markers of adverse outcome in athletes with ventricular arrhythmias with no other discernable etiology than high exercise doses.
BACKGROUND: Little is known about phenotypes and risk markers of life-threatening arrhythmic events in athletes with ventricular arrhythmia.
METHODS: We compared high-performance athletes who have ventricular arrhythmia with healthy controls using clinical data and cardiac imaging. None of the patients had family history of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy or any other discernable etiology of ventricular arrhythmia. Right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function was assessed by echocardiographic longitudinal strain (right ventricular free wall strain longitudinal [RVFWSL] and left ventricular global longitudinal strain [LVGLS]). Mechanical dispersion was defined as the standard deviation of time to peak strain in 16 LV segments. RV ejection fraction and presence of late gadolinium enhancement was assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance.
RESULTS: We included 43 athletes (45 ± 14 years of age, 16% female) with ventricular arrhythmias and 30 healthy athletes (41 ± 9 years of age, 7% female). Athletes with ventricular arrhythmias had worse RV function than healthy athletes by echocardiography (RVFWSL: -22.9 ± 4.8% vs. -26.6 ± 3.3%; p < 0.001) and by cardiac magnetic resonance (RV ejection fraction 48 ± 7% vs. 52 ± 6%; p = 0.04), and had more late gadolinium enhancement (24% vs. 3%; p = 0.03). Life-threatening arrhythmic events (aborted cardiac arrest, sustained ventricular tachycardia, or appropriate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy) had occurred in 23 (53%) athletes with ventricular arrhythmias. These had impaired LV function compared to those with less severe ventricular arrhythmias (LVGLS: -17.1 ± 3.0% vs. -18.8 ± 2.0%; p = 0.04). LV mechanical dispersion was an independent marker of life-threatening events (adjusted odds ratio: 2.2 [1.1 to 4.8] by 10 ms increments; p = 0.03).
CONCLUSIONS: Athletes with ventricular arrhythmias had impaired RV function and more myocardial fibrosis compared to healthy athletes. Athletes with life-threatening arrhythmic events had additional LV contraction abnormalities. These phenotypes mimic arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and may potentially be induced by high doses of exercise in susceptible individuals.
