Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition that affects the myocardium and is characterized by myocardial dilation, where this muscle stretches more than normal, leading to thinning of the fibers, and consequently, the heart chambers become larger. It has a worldwide prevalence of 1 in 2,500, presenting symptoms such as chest pain, fainting, weakness, etc. In high-performance athletes, it is of great importance to conduct various studies, such as a 12-lead EKG, to observe the alterations present in this condition, as athletes have a risk of sudden cardiac death related to the presence of DCM. Therefore, we conducted a literature search using various descriptors, resulting in different case reports that demonstrate the presence of dilated cardiomyopathy in athletes participating in various sports disciplines. Hence, we can conclude that early detection of this condition improves the quality of life and well-being of athletes., La miocardiopatia dilatada (MCD) es una patología que afecta al miocardio y se caracteriza por una dilatación miocárdica, donde este músculo se estira más de lo normal dando paso a un adelgazamiento de las fibras y por ende, las cavidades cardiacas se vuelven más grandes. Tiene una prevalencia de 1 \ 2,500 a nivel mundial, presentando síntomas tales como dolor torácico, desmayo, debilidad, etc. En los deportistas de alto rendimiento, es de gran importancia la realización de diferentes estudios como un EKG de 12 de derivaciones que permita observar las alteraciones presentes en dicha patología ya que los deportistas tienen un riesgo de muerte súbita cardiaca en relación con la presencia de dicha patología. Por ello, realizamos una búsqueda bibliográfica con diferentes descriptores dándonos como resultados diferentes reportes de casos en los que se evidencian la presencia de miocardiopatía dilatada en deportistas que realizan diferentes disciplinas. Por lo que podemos concluir que la detección temprana de esta patología permite mejorar la calidad de vida y el bienestar de los deportistas.

University life, inserted in social contexts undergoing permanent changes, is going through a series of mutations that have forced it to mobilize itself to try to respond better to social demands. This paper will review this set of beliefs that have shaped a current typology of the organizational culture of Ecuadorian universities, but which, at the same time, mark the fervent desire to remove those beliefs and shared meanings that have anchored them to a Napoleonic university model whose primary objective is the training of new professionals capable of integrating and efficiently meeting the needs of the public and private sectors to move to a model more in line with the needs of the social environments they serve
