WChicken Gionde Johnson collapsed at the basketball court on Saturday as the college game temporarily stopped just like his teammates. He was taken to hospital in a stable but critical condition at present. There are many reasons for Johnson’s condition, but it was not noticed that the 21 – year – old and many of his teammates tested positive for the virus over the summer, amid the Govt-19 epidemic. While it is known that Johnson’s decline this weekend had nothing to do with Covit-19, there is growing evidence that the virus could have serious consequences for athletes, even if they appear to have fully recovered.
The Kovit-19 epidemic shows how a community’s desire to return to “normalcy” clashes with science. Earlier this year, the American College Sports Board, NCAA, initially canceled the All-Winter and Spring Men & Women Championships, including the March Madness Basketball Tournament due to corona virus concerns. Other leagues in North America soon followed suit. Since then, some games have returned, and the NBA manages to successfully fly a bubble to end its season. However, the NFL was less successful as games were postponed or canceled with increased frequency due to the rise of Govt-19 across the United States. Now, the focus is back on NCAA basketball.
When taking athletes back into the game, team physicians should go to a world where parents, players, fans, and companies want to see them play, while trying to mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and protect athletes from the inter-side effects of the virus. One of the biggest concerns about athletes’ health in relation to Govt is the swelling of the heart known as a heart attack. Studies have shown that patients with Covit-19 can develop myocarditis, and this condition has been implicated in sudden cardiac death (SCD) in athletes, even without the corona virus. Many years ago, SCT was diagnosed in young people after coronary artery abnormalities and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (also known as “enlarged heart” or HCM). Meanwhile, US military sources say that myocarditis is the leading cause of death in basic training. In addition, people with myocarditis may want to exercise May be The result is a rapid replication of the corona virus in the body.
In one study in particular, 26 athletes from Ohio State University underwent a heart test with confirmed Govt-19. Of those tested, 46% had mild symptoms of Covit-19 and the other 54% were asymptomatic. Their labs and electrocardiograms are all normal. However, using a more expensive test called cardiac MRI (CMR), 46% showed heart abnormalities and 15% met the criteria for heart attack.
In a recent study, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society / Canadian Heart Rhythm Society recommended that athletes with a positive test for Covit-19 or suspected cases return to sports gradually after seven days without symptoms of the virus. Their report stressed that they do not recommend regular labs, electrocardiograms or CMR before returning to the sport if the athlete has no symptoms. They pointed out that abnormalities in the CMR would often be resolved within a few months. Their report sought to strike a balance between protecting athletes and unnecessarily warning them – after all, many people have heart abnormalities, but never suffer from severe heart events. The advice of Canadians’ cardiologists was similar to the recommendations of their European and American counterparts, suggesting that a cardiac examination was unnecessary if athletes showed no symptoms following the Govt-19 infection.
However, within the same issue as the latest Version British Journal of Sports Medicine, An American study found that Covit-19 is an ECG for athletes affected.
Today, as Gionde Johnson is in hospital, we still do not know if his condition is related to Covid-19. Fortunately for many, vaccines have begun to appear in many countries. Nevertheless, millions of people were affected by Govt-19, and many remained asymptomatic. There is a temptation for young men and women to see miraculous athletic abilities in peak body shape and to assume that Covit-19 is no threat to them; It is a virus that only preys on the old and weak. In fact, when you look at the positive test of athletes and their return to the sport after a few weeks, it’s easy to believe that the Covid-19 is a nuisance for sports stars. But the problems with the virus are real in young, fit athletes. The controversy over who to test and whose life to save by trial is not clear.
