Hallazgos electrocardiográficos funcionales en nadadores de la federación deportiva del Azuay, Cuenca 2012

Abstract

Objective: To determine electrocardiographic changes in swimmers of the Sports Federation of Azuay, Cuenca 2012. Methods: A descriptive study, the sample in which the research has developed a total of 33 swimmers who practice the sport at the Sports Complex of the Sports Federation of Azuay in the Olympic pool of Bataan which is located in the April 12th Avenue in the city of Cuenca in Ecuador. The information was collected through a form of society in cardiology in Spain, even including electrocardiographic findings. Results: We study a population of 33 swimmers the average age stood at 2012 years with a sinus bradycardia 3.58.La DS rhythm disorder was the most prevalent, found 12.1% of sinus arrhythmia. The 6.1% of swimmers showed atrioventricular block first degree. The 24.8% of the population of swimmers showed right bundle branch block. The 3% of the swimmers in the study had premature ventricular contractions (1 swimmer involved). In 27.3% of the population identified physiological hypertrophy of the left ventricle. Conclusions: The training produces a series of morphological and functional cardiac adaptations that occur in various changes in the electrocardiogram of the athlete. Rhythm disorders and heart rate are the most common findings, sinus bradycardia them the most common alteration. It also identified physiological hypertrophy of the left ventricle. Often we also find intraventricular conduction disturbances, being incomplete right bundle branch the most prevalent. KEYWORDS: ELECTROCARDIOGRAM, FINDINGS, FUNCTIONAL SWIMMERS.
