More than one-third of young athletes, including teenagers, who die from sudden cardiac death before age 30 have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Many have had some symptoms of difficulty breathing with heavy exercise but have not had cardiac testing. Atrial fibrillation occurs with aging rather than in younger adults and is not induced by exercise. Familial hypercholesterolemia can result in early-age heart attacks, but most people with the problem are very exercise intolerant and do not engage in athletic activities. Romano-Ward is a congenital cardiac problem usually diagnosed in early childhood as a tachyarrhythmia. It is also fairly rare.
