Fabricio’s death raised the alarm. What happened? Why did it happen “, were the questions that many asked themselves after the athlete’s death.
“Sudden cardiac arrest (or sudden death) is rare in young people, but it can happen. These deaths leave a huge and devastating impact, both on families and communities,” said cardiologist Carolina González (MP 8007).
“One cause of SCA with no history is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This usually inherited and often undiagnosed condition is the most common cardiovascular cause of SCA in young people. Muscle cells in the heart’s lower chambers, called ventricles, thicken. . This can cause an abnormal heart rhythm, especially during exercise. Other types of pediatric cardiomyopathies can also be involved, “he added.
And he left behind some risk factors for sudden cardiac death that should require further testing:
- Family history of sudden cardiac death or sudden unexplained death in a relative under the age of 50 who is otherwise healthy.
- Family member with inherited problems with the heart or electrical muscles.
- Chest pain during exercise.
- Abnormal heart rate or rhythm of unknown cause.
- Fainting or lightheadedness or convulsions without warning or during exercise.
- Being born with a congenital heart defect (including those that have been surgically repaired).

We extend our condolences to family and friends. Rest in peace, Gordito !!! ”, the Training Divisions Subcommittee dismissed him, also on social networks.
