Risk of coronary atherosclerosis from high-intensity exercise
Studies have shown that moderate physical activity can help reduce the risk of CVD, while high-intensity exercise can lead to coronary atherosclerosis in middle-age and older male athletes. Certain exercises or workouts put a greater burden on the heart, causing the body to produce higher catecholamine levels that increase a person’s heart rate and blood pressure, a faster heart rate can accelerate atherosclerosis. While catecholamines are important stress responses present inside the body and high levels of these stress responses can lead to high blood pressure which can lead to many problems like headache, sweating, pounding heart, chest pain and anxiety.
What is atherosclerosis?
Coronary atherosclerosis is a condition where plaque builds up inside the walls of the arteries in the heart. This plaque can include fat, cholesterol, and other substances. These arteries are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. And due to the formation of this plaque, the passage of blood becomes narrow and reduces or blocks the flow of blood through the body. Due to this, there is a risk of diseases like heart attack, stroke and peripheral vascular disease. Its symptoms include chest pain, leg and arm pain, pain in any part of the body where the artery is blocked. Difficulty breathing Fatigue Confusion over blockage affecting blood flow to the brain
