Unclear-Probably Yes: Athletic activity ↑es heart rates (per brain control to ↑ venous return, stroke volume & rate to ↑ cardiac output). It thus may compound atrial tachycardia in a partially additive way. Yet, more commonly what happens is that the brain induced rate ↑es simply over-ride the AVR induced rates. Best optimize NMR lipoprotens, HbA1c (best ≤5.0%), get a quality echocardiogram & review images carefully!
