• 18 year old Bronny James suffers heart attack

    From ScottW@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jul 25 20:22:01 2023
    and thankfully, he is apparently going to be ok.

    Now one has to wonder....what causes a healthy 18 year old kid to have a heart attack?

    This kid has been playing competitive basketball since he was very young. Daddy has long said he wants to play in the NBA with his son.

    So Bronny has obviously had a goal of NBA basketball player since a young boy.

    The medical community has studied the cause of cardiac problems in young athletes.
    "Athletes should be questioned about the usage of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), specifically anabolic steroids and stimulants. These agents induce the risk of sudden cardiac death through multiple mechanisms. The most common mechanism is left
    ventricular hypertrophy in anabolic steroid users, while arrhythmias and vascular injury also occur. High doses of testosterone, use of growth factors, classic agents such as stanozolol, and commonly used injectable drugs like trenbolone; all induce
    severe left ventricular hypertrophy. Different athletes experience this to variable degrees, and hence knowledge of this history is critical. Also, the usage of stimulants increases the likelihood of arrhythmias, especially in those with existing cardiac
    illnesses. Some pre-workout supplements contain potentially dangerous compounds that induce a high burden of ectopic heartbeats, prolong QT, and can produce clinical symptoms. "

    Left ventricular hypertrophy is considered an irregularity.
    You may have it....caused by high blood pressure in old farts.
    But other causes in 18 year old athletes.

    there's a series of edits, lots of activity, indicating the page is
    constantly revised and up to date.

    Besides, your "old" is a 'gotcha,' not a substantive criticism. I don't
    suppose you remember why I would ever bother mentioning the age of
    information, but it might have something to do with your standard ways
    of dismissing evidence you don't like.

    That paragraph is meaningless and offers nothing on the root causes of young athletes
    cardiac issues. I'm sure in autopsy for many of the unfortunate who actually died they
    may find hypertrophy but not be able to identify an underlying cause so it's chalked up
    as cardiovascular disease.
    But additional research has begun to reveal some possible and even probable causes that
    aren't of your typical "disease" variety.

    Here's an article which highlights the struggle of pathologists to even be able to determine hypertrophy as
    the cause of death....let alone identify the cause of the hypertrophy.

    "It is recognized that sudden death from conditions associated with
    significant LVH is not rare. In addition, in many autopsies where
    myocardial hypertrophy is identified, the severity of the myocardial
    disease is more than sufficient to increase the risk of
    arrhythmogenesis, the history often coheres with a sudden cardiac death
    and the remaining postmortem examination (including ancillary studies)
    fails to identify an alternative cause for death."

    That means the hypertrophy is the cause and there wasn't a different
    cause found in addition. Athletes have thick hearts due to all that
    exercise.

    Not a mystery.

    That paragraph is meaningless and offers nothing on the root causes

    Root causes? That's what the study is about: it analyzes "1866 Deaths in
    the United States, 1980–2006."

    Look for "Causes of Death."
    I'm sure in autopsy for many of the unfortunate who actually died
    they may find hypertrophy but not be able to identify an underlying
    cause so it's chalked up as cardiovascular disease. But additional research has begun to reveal some possible and even probable causes
    that aren't of your typical "disease" variety.
    You're a coroner, too? Your expertise is boundless.
    Here's an article which highlights the struggle of pathologists to
    even be able to determine hypertrophy as the cause of death....let
    alone identify the cause of the hypertrophy.

    Now you're making shit up. There are root causes which often go unidentified for hypertrophy
    that are just now being studied as I showed in my original post.

    Hypertrophy is a symptom just like being dead is a symptom. But I'll bet that is too confusing for you.

    And that hasn't changed the general understanding of the situation.

    What's confusing is what point you're trying to make about Bronny.
