Heart abnormalities a cause of athletes' deaths
The Associated Press
CHICAGO — The scenario is rare but always terrifying. A young athlete, seemingly in top shape, suddenly collapses and dies.
The reasons may be just as frightening: more often than not, symptomless, hard-to-detect and unpreventable heart abnormalities are to blame, according to a new, detailed profile of the victims.
Most had passed routine medical screenings with flying colors, according to a report yesterday in a special Journal of the American Medical Association issue devoted to sports medicine and the Olympics.
Though the problem is rare, it*s always a horror story, said William
Roberts, a co-researcher and director of the Baylor Cardiovascular Institute in Dallas.
Three well-known athletes died unexpectedly of heart disease this decade.
Hank Gathers, a star at Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles, collapsed and died on the court during a game in 1990 after being sidelined for his heart condition.
Olympic figure skating gold medalist Sergei Grinkov died during practice last year at age 28. Grinkov, a Russian, was found to have inherited a genetic condition that caused his death.
Reggie Lewis of the Boston Celtics collapsed on the court during a 1993 playoff game, then collapsed again and died as he was
practicing for a comeback a few months later.
Gary Balady, chairman of the heart association's Committee on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabilitation said the American Heart Association plans to release new screening guidelines for young athletes next month.
The guidelines will recommend detailed screenings of athletes with family histories of heart disease, and researchers suggest that young athletes with serious heart defects abstain from competitive sports.
Among high school competitors only one in about 200,000 athletes succumbs to such sudden deaths, according to researchers led by Barry J. Maron at the Minnesota Heart Institute Foundation.
They looked at 158 sudden deaths nationwide among young competitive athletes between 1985 and 1995, and focused on 134 that were later linked to heart problems.
The researchers found one common factor: nearly all were brought on by intense exercise.
More than 20 different cardiac disorders were implicated in the 134 deaths.
There's no national registry for such deaths, and the researchers said they suspect more occurred during that period.
However, of the 115 athletes studied who had undergone standard screenings, fewer than 5 percent showed symptoms of heart disease and fewer than 1 percent were accurately diagnosed. Only 24 athletes (18 percent) experienced heart-related symptoms such as dizziness or chest pain during the three years preceding their deaths.
Among the heart-related deaths, 90 percent were male; 52 percent were white; 44 percent black and most victims were involved in either basketball or football. Their median age was 17, and 90 percent collapsed during or immediately after engaging in the sport.
The most commonly implicated disorder, found in 36 percent of the cases, was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, a congenital disease involving too-vigorous heart contractions and cardiac muscle enlargement, the cause of Gathers' death.
HCM is so uncommon that most
cardiologists see only one case yearly, Roberts said. While it is symptomless until later in life, victims usually have a close relative with the disease.
The best way to diagnose HCM is through costly echocardiograms, which aren't part of routine presport health screenings. Barbara Deal, a cardiologist at Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital, said that presents a dilemma for treating young athletes.
It's a tough issue because when people want to compete at a high level they really don't want anything to stand in their way, and many might not report symptoms of heart disease, like chest pain, Dr. Deal said.
