Online Cardiology Days | Day 5 | Sports Cardiology
Don’t Drop the Ball. Avoiding Sudden Cardiac Death in Sports
Sudden cardiac death is an established problem in athletes. Cardiovascular screening allows early detection of disease. Yet, over-conservative diagnosis can unnecessarily exclude individuals from participating in sports and can damage careers. Sports cardiology is all about striking the perfect balance in promoting sports and minimizing the risk of events, whether dealing with weekend warriors or elite players.
