Detection of myocardial dystrophy on the background of physical overstrain of heart in high-class athletes

The article presents the results of studies monitoring the functional state of the cardiovascular system in 25 highly qualified athletes in a one-year training process. According to the ECG, a high percentage of rhythm, conduction and repolarization processes was detected. In most cases, due to load correction and rehabilitation treatment, the revealed violations were transient. In 5 athletes (20%), ECG changes in the end part of the ventricular complex were recorded throughout the season, who were diagnosed with myocardial dystrophy due to chronic physical overstrain of degree 1–2 against a background of chronic cardiac overstrain.
