The occurrence of atrial fi brillation in former top-level handball players above the age of 50

Abstract: Not only endurance training, but also sports activity with a relevant static component, like team handball, might predispose for AF above the age of 50. LA size, height and myocardial wall thickness seem to affect the risk of developing AF. More data in non-endurance sports are mandatory to confirm this hypothesis.
