Big heart? No problem...

According to this article a recent study of Olympic rowers shows that an enlarged heart for athletes is natural and may not prove anything more than a side-effect of training and not a sign of a problem. I remember hearing proposals for testing all athletes for an enlarged heart before they are allowed to compete. My thought is, I would rather die doing something I love than die because I was out of shape. To me quality of life is more important.
