Athletes, particularly those who engage in high-intensity sports, often have unique cardiovascular concerns that require specialized care. Sports cardiology addresses these needs by focusing on heart health in athletes, ensuring that their cardiovascular system is capable of handling the stress of intense physical exertion. This field includes screening for heart conditions, evaluating how exercise impacts heart function, and preventing exercise-induced cardiovascular issues. Sports cardiologists play a vital role in assessing athletes’ readiness for competition and providing guidance on training regimens that prioritize heart health. Their expertise ensures that athletes can perform at their best while minimizing the risk of cardiovascular complications.
