Sports Cardiology UK provides expert cardiac assessment and cardiac screening for athletes of all ages. In most circumstances, regular exercise is really good for cardiovascular health. However, there are a small number of people who have heart conditions that can be potentially dangerous if they participate in strenuous exercise training. In some, these may not be obvious until symptoms appear- sometimes after many years of competitive athletics. The European Society of Cardiology recommend that all competitive ahtletes undergo a regular cardiac assessment but most doctors have a poor understanding of athletes and the normal changes which occur in the heart with regular exercise. Sports Cardiology UK is based in Bristol - have a look at our website for further details.
