Abstract
Mortality in athletes in 50% of cases is due to cardiovascular disorders, among which a significant role belongs to cardiac arrhythmias, in particular, atrial fibrillation (AF). Therefore, understanding of risk factors for AF in this group of patients is of great importance. In this review, we summarize recent experimental and clinical data on the links between physical activity, arterial hypertension, obesity, disorders of carbohydrate metabolism and AF.
