Is Rigorous Cycling Safe During Fascicular Block?
My son aged 30 years old has had an ECG recently due to chest pain. His results indicated that he has first degree heart block and posterior fascicular block cannot be ruled out. His resting pulse is approx 36 occasionally rising to 42 bpm and drops even further at rest. He insists on maintaining his rigorous cycling regime and I am worried.Should I be??

Hi,
If he is professional cyclist, then it is possible that he has athlets heart, and all above mentioned symptoms may be found in proffesional athletes. If he has no complaints, don't worry. He can continue his exercises, but do a follow up visits to his cardiologist from time to time.
Take care
