PDA and athletic performance
by slim_, Apr 06, 2008 02:31PM
Hi, im a young aspiring triathlete. I was diagnosed with a PDA a couple of years ago, but didn't get the surgery to fix it until the past month. Now from what i understand there should be no negative effect from this surgery on my athletic performance, but since i have been back training, i have been experiencing early fatigue and slightly elevated heart rates.
I was just wondering if anyone knew the kinds of effects closing a PDA has on athletic performance??
Thanks
Tyler
