Even in the absence of a formally diagnosed cardiomyopathy, these findings may warrant temporary restriction from high-intensity competitive participation due to the potential risk of malignant arrhythmic events, especially in pharmacologically enhanced subgroups
Example 1: 0.25 mg dose from a 5 mg/mL vial Units = (0.25 / 5) x 100 = 0.05 x 100 = 5 units Example 2: 1.0 mg dose from a 2.5 mg/mL vial Units = (1.0 / 2.5) x 100 = 0.4 x 100 = 40 units Example 3: 2.4 mg dose from a 3 mg/mL vial Units = (2.4 / 3) x 100 = 0.8 x 100 = 80 units Example 4: 1.7 mg dose from a 10 mg/mL vial Units = (1.7 / 10) x 100 = 0.17 x 100 = 17 units Notice how dramatically different the unit readings are for the same milligram dose across different concentrations
