Objective: Sudden cardiac death in athletes is one of the most tragic health events seen both in our country and all over the world. In some of those athletes, there is no obvious structural abnormality. Dynamic changes in intracardiac hemodynamics during exercise may be a cause for sudden death in these athletes, the impact of exercise on intracardiac gradient and cardiac hemodynamic parameters in athletes was compared with healthy controls.
