Assessing heart function in swimmers with pulmonary edema

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate cardiac function in individuals experiencing swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) during Sweden's largest open water swimming event, Vansbrosimningen. It will compare cardiac function in symptomatic swimmers diagnosed with SIPE to asymptomatic swimmers using echocardiography, electrocardiograms, and cardiac biomarkers. The study seeks to uncover the prevalence and severity of myocardial dysfunction associated with SIPE, as well as to establish a better understanding of cardiac evaluations needed for affected individuals.
