Description
Summary:Electrocardiographic studies were performed in 85 endurance-training athletes with chronic physical overexertion. A new type of change in the T wave-atypical asymmetry-was revealed in addition to changes described earlier in the literature as corresponding to this pathological condition. A detailed theoretical foundation for impaired repolarization was given. An electrocardiographic picture of a left ventricular diastolic overload was also considered as a manifestation of chronic physical overexertion. A classification was suggested for electrocardiographic variants of dysadaptation of an athlete's heart to physical loads as a result of physical overexertion.
