Topical subject of late but here I go into the who, what, when and why of cardiac screening in athletes. #SportsCardio
Answering some of the key questions, and controversies
If you’re interested I’ve linked to the full talk in all its glory below @Aspetar
Today, the UK CMOs have published updated physical activity guidelines. These reflect stronger evidence on the benefits of increasing activity for anyone, but especially for the least active. Even small amounts of activity can have big benefits for health. https://t.co/Qnphr6NZ0U
This Scientific Statement summarizes the present state and future directions of exercise training for these high-risk populations, including functional deficits, responses to exercise training, modifications in training programs required to maximize safety and efficacy, and knowledge gaps in this field. https://t.co/dSgYYFWv1h

Paediatric athletes are not just “mini adults.” When it comes to cardiac screening, age, growth, and physiology change everything. A new consensus sets the stage for smarter, earlier, and more tailored evaluation, starting from the basics to advanced imaging. Read more in #EHJ. https://t.co/rxlKWuJvAA

High intensity exercise can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, reduce cardiovascular risk and provide psychological benefit in individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, for these positive effects to have a lasting impact, regular exercise must become a consistent habit.
So proud that my PhD work has just been published in EHJ. Thank you to my fantastic supervisory team, collaborators, physiologists and most importantly the incredible participants and cardiac rehabilitation team without whom none of this would be possible.

A great end to the week teaching on sudden cardiac death in athletes @TheISEH for the MSc programme in Sports Medicine, Exercise & Health. Thank you to @Nathan_Riding for the kind invite. @WomenAs1@BCSWIC
Happy to have contributed to this article delving into anterior T-wave inversions in athletes. With a particular perspective from Africa, and touching upon the challenges faced within screening. @BJSM_BMJ

Wonderful to see how research we conducted into HCM and high intensity exercise has helped patients to exercise with confidence. Thank you again to the SAFE-HCM team and all my wonderful participants for making this happen. @MichaelPapadak2 @DNikoletou @JODriscoll9@SSharmacardio
