Aging Athlete's Cardiology

Aging Athlete's Cardiology focuses on the heart health of older athletes who continue to engage in sports. As we age, our cardiovascular system undergoes changes that can affect performance and risk for heart issues. This field studies how lifelong physical activity influences heart health, aims to identify and manage potential cardiac conditions, and promotes safe exercise practices for older individuals. By understanding the unique heart-related challenges faced by aging athletes, medical professionals can provide tailored advice and interventions to help maintain their fitness safely and effectively, supporting a healthy, active lifestyle in later years.
