Features of diagnostics and provision of cardiological care in professional sports
Оver the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in the population of professional athletes and people who are actively engaged in sports (CAHAP). Although vigorous exercises are effective way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) diseases, CAHAP remains susceptible to inherited and acquired CVD and may be at the greatest risk of adverse cardiovascular out-comes during intense exercise. Traditionally, multidisciplinary teams consisting of sports coaches, physical therapists, primary care physicians, and orthopedic surgeons have provided clinical care to CAHAP. However, there is a growing understanding that a medical team that includes qualified CV specialists will optimize the delivery of medical care for CAHAP.
