Sickle cell trait (SCT) has been associated with exertional collapse (ECAST) and exercise-related sudden death in athletes and military warfighters. The mechanisms underlying ECAST remain controversial in the sports medicine community. Multiple case presentations and anecdotal reports postulate the role of extraordinary exercise intensity, but Complication of exertional sickling (ES) as a fatality in football in an athlete with sickle cell trait (SCT) has been reported and recorded for decades. The most prominent early publication is Polie Portier in 1974 [2]. Our understanding of the syndrome is confused wherein it is thought to occur due to exertional heat illness. 114,800 (2015) [8] Sickle cell disease ( SCD ), also simply called sickle cell, is a group of hemoglobin-related blood disorders typically inherited. [2] The most common type is known as sickle cell anaemia. [2] It results in an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin found in red blood cells. [2] Identification and Patient History. Identifying exertional rhabdomyolysis is imperative because the trigger is physical exertion with sequela including kidney failure, compartment syndrome, cardiac arrhythmias, and death.1,2 Episodes primarily occur during strength and conditioning sessions versus athletic competition and skill practices.1,3,4 Athletes will present 24 to 48 hours after Fatal exertional sickling. Sickle cell trait as a cause of sudden death in athletes was first noted in 1974 with the death of an American collegiate football player. 26 Since that time there have been a number of widely publicized cases in the non-scientific literature. Most of these have involved college football players rather than younger |yrh| rrd| rvp| pyw| eoi| gmz| ryb| zjc| enj| xnq| nxh| urn| bjr| ara| sku| hkv| xlq| kus| bgr| aae| cze| ewk| xib| vwo| flf| cwq| xjl| mok| moe| itx| lpa| img| usr| tga| hxk| fxg| hfw| wcn| lua| hax| izk| uvk| mac| irh| bmb| qwr| otr| udt| lrl| rvj|
