While pulse rate falls, the stroke volume increases and the continued
effects of hard cardiac workloads cause heart changes. The ventricles
enlarge causing ECG and X ray abnormalities known as "Athletes Heart"

I have seen alot of these heart abnormality posts in the last few days.
Before anyone gets too proud of having a condition associated with young in
shape atheletes, please know that even to young trained atheletes this
condition is not a point of pride. I PLayed collegaiate water polo training
7 hours a day during the on season. one day my heart simply paused. I got
out of the pool and laid on the concrete while a docotr tried to register
anything but a weak pulse. Later I sat at 19 in a cardiac ward surrounded by
men twice and thrice my age. I was determined to have just such a
condition. I wore an event monitor, was watched closely, and did not start
that season due to fears by my coach. These events occured occasionally tp
the point where I needed to cling to the side of the pool. I was not proud,
I was afraid.
I have since discovered that they are often abandoned later, but can grow
more pronounced. Every tine I go for a checkup I get an EKG. It is your
heart, don't avoid medical assistance completely, it may become something
more than a natural varient, and hey, it is your heart. Nothing alarmist-
but it is a life long consideration, just because the doctor is crying
doesnt mean he is crying wolf.
Be Careful-

Those are the archives for the current version of the list. I believe
someone has the archives for the older version of the list(pre Nov-2000). I
could swear that Art's page mentioned this at one time.
