Abstract
Objectives. Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study (SUDS) is an ongoing study that has distinguished electrocardiographic parameters that correlate with increased risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the population. The objective is to evaluate electrocardiograms (ECG) of basketball master athletes for markers
of increased risk for SCD. In the Oregon SUDS, of the patients who had SCD 16% of them had ≥ 4 markers, which was associated with a 21.2% risk of SCD, while the control group had around 3%.
Materials and Methods. A prospective cross-sectional study (January 2022 – December 2022) was made, including competition-level basketball master athletes. During their training session, a questionnaire about demographic data, and lifestyle was conducted, and ECGs were made. Data was collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Spearman’s One-Tailed correlation) using IMB SPSS Statistics 26.0.
Results. Altogether 54 participants: 83.3% (45) – male (M), 16.7% (9) – female (F); average age – 64 years (SD 9.3). ECG findings: resting heart rate > 75 bpm – 42.6% (23) of participants; left ventricular hypertrophy according to Sokolow-Lyon criteria – 11.1% (6); prolonged QTc interval (> 450 ms in men, > 460 ms in women) - 20.4% (11); QRS-T angle > 90 degrees – 7.4% (4); delayed QRS transition zone (in at least lead v5) – 14.8% (8), prolonged Tpeak-to-Tend (> 89 ms) – 27.8% (15). Of all participants, 35.2% (19) had 1 marker; 24.1% (13) – 2 markers; 27.8% (15) – 3 markers; 9.3% (5) – 4 markers; 1.9% (1) – 5 markers; 1.9% (1) – 6 markers. The sum of the markers did not have a correlation with age (p = 0.202), gender (p = 0.401) or smoking status (p = 0.418).
Conclusions. Of all the research participants among competition-level basketball master athletes, 13.0% (7) had ≥ 4 markers on ECG that correlate with increased risk of sudden cardiac death; the sum of markers did not have a correlation with age, gender, or smoking status.
