Sports cardiology outpatient clinic

The benefits of regular exercise have long been known: it reduces the risk of and the chances of developing cardiovascular disease. Regular exercise helps to lose weight, improves stamina, increases bone strength , helps relieve stress and has a positive effect on sleep quality. But without intensive exercise, preventive testing and preparation, it can be harmful and even dangerous.

Sudden cardiac deaths during sporting activity are becoming increasingly common in professional and even amateur athletes over the age of 35, and to prevent this, professional athletes should undergo regular sports cardiology check-ups. Inherited or acquired myocardial and ion channel diseases are virtually asymptomatic, but can cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias during sporting activity if not properly investigated. For elite athletes, newcomers and those with cardiovascular risk factors, sports cardiology screening is essential.

The check-up includes a 12-lead ECG to detect arrhythmias and specific ECG abnormalities that may indicate myocardial disease.

  • Echocardiography (echocardiography)can help to detect abnormal myocardial or valvular abnormalities that are not related to exercise.
  • Exercise ECG can help to assess fitness, record arrhythmias during exercise, and assess the appropriate frequency and blood pressure response, and may also indicate further specialised tests for abnormalities suggestive of coronary artery disease.
  • In the case of any suspected arrhythmia, a 24-hour ECG (Holter) can help to establish the diagnosis.
  • The diagnosis of hypertension can be aided by the 24-hour blood pressure monitor (ABPM).
  • Coronary CT helps to detect coronary artery disease, or coronary anomaly, which is the most common cause of heart death in athletes.
  • Myocardial MR is one of the most important methods for the diagnosis of myocardial diseases that predispose to sudden cardiac death. Both MR and coronary CT are available within a week at the Wáberer Cardiology Centre.
