  • Title: Common issues in sports cardiology.
    Author: Mason PK, Mounsey JP.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 2005 Jul; 24(3):463-76, vii. PubMed ID: 16004915.
    Abstract:
    Many cardiac conditions found in athletes are amenable to athletic participation if well-managed. As always, a respect for the causes of sudden cardiac death in athletes is paramount. Although rare, sudden cardiac death in athletes is frequently preventable by careful pre-participation screening. The authors hope that more athletes will undergo screening, and that basic investigations, including but not limited to electrocardiography, will become more widespread. A high degree of surveillance for cardiac pathology in athletes is the duty of any sports medicine practitioner.
