Immediately post exercise there is a decrease in venous return. Long term endurance exercise may increase af risk: pathophysiology of exercise. Inflammation: atrial ectopic beats, atrial enlargement with dilation, fibrosis, bradycardia. Increased vagal tone: cardiac imaging in middle-aged athletes: physiologic and pathological adaptations, want to see if there were changes in the cardiac mass. Myth: will exercising a specific are of the body will help reduce fat in that area more quickly: spot reduction is not real, best way to lose belly fat is to work out your legs! 2-3 mins of intense exercise is still helpful.
