Sudden Cardiac Death:
The hystorical background
• Bibble
• Chineese:association shortened life span with
irregularity of the pulse
• Hyppocrates “Frequent recurrence of
cardialgia in an ederly person announces
sudden death”
• Leonardo d Vinci old men who died without
warning while was talking with him.
“si dolce morte”
Competitive Athlete
A competitive athlete is defined as one who partecipates in
an organized team or individual sport that requires regular
competition against others as a central component,places a
high premium on excellence and achievement, and requires
vigorous and intense training in a systematic fashion.It
should also be emphasized that many individuals
partecipate in “recreational” sports in a truly competitive
fashion.
B.J.Maron 2000
Sudden Cardiac Death
Sudden cardiac death is natural death due to
cardiac causes,heralded by abrupt loss of
consciuosness within 1 hour of the onset of acute
symptoms.Preexisting heart disease may or may
not have been known to be present but the time
and mode of death are unexpected.
E.Braunwald Heart Disease 2001
Sudden Cardiac Death during
Sport Activity
Sudden cardiac death during sport activity is an
unexpexted death without preceeding symptoms which
gets within 15 min from symptoms beginning.Preexisting
heart disease may or may not have been known to be
present but the time and mode of death are unexpected.
Trauma or thechnical accidents during sport activity are
not inclusive of this definition.

Mechanism of Acute Coronary Events
with Exercise
 Placque rupture
 Conctraction of noncompliant

producing rupture
 Alteration of epicardial
contour of coronary placque
 Enhanced cathecolamineinduced platelet aggregation
 Exercise induced coronary
artery spasm
 Increased shear force

Cocaina
“Drugs and sport research:
findings and limitations”
“The few studies of cocaine and exercise
suggest that little to no performance
gains are incurred from cocaine use.
Moreover,the sense of euphoria may
provide the illusion of better performance
when,in actuality,performance was not improved
or was impaired.”
Clarkson PM,Thompson HS. Sport Med 1997

Screening per la morte improvvisa:
domande durante la visita
• Ha mai avuto perdita di coscienza durante o dopo
esercizio?
• Ha mai avuto vertigine durante o dopo esercizio?
• Ha mai avuto dolore toracico durante o dopo esercizio?
• Ti stanchi più velocemente dei tuoi compagni?
• Hai la pressione alta?
• Sai di avere un soffio cardiaco?
• Hai mai avuto palpitazioni?
• Esiste familiarità per M.I prima dei 50 anni?
• Hai avuto recentemente una forma virale?
• Fai uso di farmaci,steroidi o cocaina?
• Sei stato riformato al servizio di leva?
Screening per la morte improvvisa:
fatti che emergono durante la visita e che
necessitano di approfondimento diagnostico
•
•
•
•
Comparsa di un nuovo soffio sistolico 3/6
Soffio diastolico
Comparsa di aritmie
Lento recupero da una malattia virale o
sistemica
• Dolore toracico,affaticabilità,dispnea o sincope
durante esercizio
• Familiarità per CAD,Morte improvvisa,S. Marfan
