Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart rhythm problem that is 3 to 5 times more common in male athletes than the general male population - the reasons for this excess are not known. We hypothesize that the cardiac enlargement that is caused by high intensity exercise training increases the risk of AF. We will assess heart structure and function in 420 athletes across the age spectrum and assess the degree to which sports-induced changes are permanent and whether this represents an AF risk.

心房颤动（AF）是一种心律问题，男性运动员的发病率是普通男性的3 - 5倍，其原因尚不清楚。我们假设高强度运动训练引起的心脏扩大会增加房颤的风险。我们将评估420名运动员的心脏结构和功能，并评估运动引起的变化是永久性的程度，以及这是否代表房颤的风险。
