| description | Physical exercise avoids cardiovascular diseases but when it is intense, it must have correct planning and dosage and, if possible, a previous ergometric test and a guidance specialist could be very useful; because it can also cause cardiovascular events in high performance athletes, among other things, for not complying with a well-defined schedule with a scientific base. The most feared complication is sudden cardiac death, usually due to malignant arrhythmias and ischemic heart disease. Here is presented the case of a 34-year-old high-performance athlete, in the detraining phase and without cardiovascular risk factors or other history of interest, who suffered an extensive acute myocardial infarction, with post-infarction angina, due to a stricture suboclusive of the proximal left anterior descending artery. A rescue angioplasty was performed, with implantation of a drug-eluting stent and the patient evolved favorably. |
