The Emergence of Sports Electrophysiology: Care of Athletes With Arrhythmias, From the ACC's Sports and Exercise Cardiology Leadership Council

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to define and establish "sports electrophysiology" as a specialized field within sports cardiology, focusing on the management of arrhythmias in competitive athletes and active individuals. They explore the unique challenges and considerations in diagnosing and treating these conditions, including the impact of exercise on cardiac function and the implications for treatment strategies. The review provides practical guidance for clinicians in addressing the specific needs of athletes with arrhythmias, highlighting the differences from standard electrophysiological practices.
