2020, Wilderness and Environmental MedicineCitation Excerpt :The presence of left ventricular hypertrophy has been demonstrated in 45% of triathletes who experienced cardiac arrest while swimming.22 This was not only greater than that found among a sedentary age-matched population but was almost twice as common as that found among other endurance athletes (24%).27,28 Small changes in the supply and demand of oxygen are unlikely to affect the vast majority of triathletes.
