Sports Cardiology

Sports Cardiology is a specialized area of cardiology that focuses on the heart health of athletes and active individuals. It involves understanding how physical activity impacts the heart, diagnosing and treating heart conditions in athletes, and assessing the risks involved in competitive sports. Sports cardiologists work to ensure that athletes can safely participate in their sport while managing any cardiovascular issues. They often conduct evaluations, monitor heart function, and provide guidance on exercise, diet, and overall wellness to maximize athletic performance while minimizing health risks.
