November 27, 2019Weight Gain, Hypertension, and the Emergence of a Maladaptive Cardiovascular Phenotype Among US Football Players
Jonathan Kim and colleagues from the Emory Clinical Cardiovascular Research Institute conducted a comprehensive multiyear, multicenter, longitudinal observational cohort study involving collegiate US football athletes spanning three years. Their investigation revealed that athletes who experience weight gain and subsequent elevation in systolic blood pressure levels are predisposed to developing a pathological cardiovascular phenotype characterized by concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, arterial stiffening, and impaired left ventricular diastolic function.
