Abstract
Athletes undergo mandatory or voluntary cardiac testing, which may include 24-h ambulatory electrocardiogram monitoring. This study can on occasion disclose nocturnal pauses in otherwise asymptomatic healthy individuals. In some athletes, particularly those engaging in endurance or mixed sports, the pauses can be longer than 2–3 s and/or be caused by sinus arrest high-degree atrioventricular block not typical for physiological adaptation to exercise. The manuscript discusses the physiology and potential pathologies behind long nocturnal pauses in athletes. Several management strategies are proposed including emerging treatment techniques such as cardioneuroablation.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
