They are talking about me lol...

"intense exercise may paradoxically act as a trigger for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in the presence of underlying CVD. Indeed, sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of sports and exercise-related mortality in athletes"

I have not read the full article yet but I wonder if they discuss hypertrophy from atrial pressure (as i did) as this is very common in athletes with undiagnosed CVD... will keep reading, thanks.
