Abstract
Athletes are generally healthy but might have certain cardiac disorders which might, during athletic participation or training, result in cardiac symptoms including syncope. Vasovagal syncope is probably the most common cause of syncope in athletes, but syncope in the context of these cardiac disorders might be a warning of sudden death.
