Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, with over 200 million active players. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents the most striking as well as the most common cause of death in the soccer field. Underlying cardiovascular pathologies predispose to life threatening ventricular arrhythmias and SCD in soccer players. Up to thousands to hundred thousands players might have an underlying condition that predisposes them for SCD. After several media striking SCD events in soccer players the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has made screening recommendations that are more thorough than the ones recommended for the American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology. We present a retrospective search through Internet databases that resulted in 54 soccer players with SCD events from 2000 until 2013. In this article, we will describe and discuss the conditions of those cases of SCD in order to provide more knowledge of the factors that may precipitate SCD in young soccer players.
足球是世界上最受欢迎的运动,有超过 2 亿的活跃球员。心脏性猝死(SCD)是足球场上最引人注目的也是最常见的死亡原因。潜在的心血管病理学使足球运动员容易发生危及生命的室性心律失常和 SCD。多达数千到数万的球员可能有潜在的疾病使他们容易发生 SCD。在足球运动员发生了几次媒体报道的 SCD 事件后,国际足球联合会(FIFA)制定了比美国心脏协会和欧洲心脏病学会推荐的更全面的筛查建议。我们通过互联网数据库进行了回顾性搜索,结果发现 2000 年至 2013 年期间有 54 名足球运动员发生了 SCD 事件。在本文中,我们将描述和讨论这些 SCD 病例的情况,以便提供更多可能导致年轻足球运动员 SCD 的因素的知识。
