The arrhythmias in competitive athletes may be classified as "benign," "paraphysiological" due to prolonged athletic training, or "pathological" due to hemodynamic effects on the athletic performance-risk-arrhythmogenic substratum. Pathological arrhythmias include life-threatening forms that are severe enough to produce symptoms (presyncope, syncope, cardiac arrest) during athletic activity. These forms are in particular rapid VT, VF, torsades de pointes, preexcited atrial fibrillation, sinus atrial and AV block. Our study population includes 766 competitive athletes, mean age 21.1 years (74 top international level), investigated with a cardioarrhythmological work-up for symptoms and for arrhythmias from 1974 to June 30, 1991. Three leading categories, represented by 16 aborted sudden death, 8 sudden death, and 7 induced VF (by EES or TAP) athletes, are described. All athletes with life-threatening arrhythmias, previously as asymptomatic or with minor symptoms had an arrhythmogenic substratum due to underlying silent cardiopathy or primary arrhythmic disorders. Athletic activity can be regarded as a trigger of electrical destabilization.
