Young athletes with unknown moderate enlargement of the ascending aorta are prone to aortic dissection during exertion. This dissection is linked to transient, severe hypertension during intense athletic effort. Promising young athletes are dying from this phenomenon. For this reason, the author suggests routine echocardiographic examination of young athletes.
年轻运动员的升主动脉中度增大,如果在运动中,容易发生主动脉夹层。这种夹层与剧烈运动时短暂、严重的高血压有关。有前途的年轻运动员因此而死亡。出于这个原因,作者建议对年轻运动员进行常规超声心动图检查。
