Sports Cardiology, An Issue of Clinics in Sports Medicine (Volume 41-3) (The Clinics: Internal Medicine, Volume 41-3)

Sports have always played an important role in our lives and have been considered as one of the best ways to maintain physical fitness and overall well-being. However, athletes can often be prone to sudden cardiac arrests, which is one of the leading causes of athlete’s deaths. It is, therefore, important to have specialized healthcare professionals to diagnose and treat these athletes. In this regard, Dr. Peter Dean MD FACC has brought his considerable expertise in Sports Cardiology as a guest editor in the latest issue of Clinics in Sports Medicine.

Dr. Peter Dean has been an eminent cardiologist and is particularly well known for his contributions in sports cardiology. He has collaborated with other leading experts in this field to bring twelve relevant, practice-oriented topics that deal with the importance of surrounding the athlete with a “team,” pre-participation evaluation of the athlete, risk and causes of sudden death in athletes, and non-cardiac diseases that mimic cardiac symptoms in young athletes. The book also emphasizes incorporating new heart rate monitors, wearables, and watches into sports cardiology practice.

The book “Sports Cardiology (Clinics in Sports Medicine)” is a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge in this field. It is not only written by experts but also reviewed and edited by experienced editors in the field. As a result, its content is not only reliable but clinically relevant as well. The publication covers a broad range of topics that are critically important to any clinician practicing in sports cardiology. It includes differentiating between pathologic heart disease and an “athletic heart,” exercise stress testing in the athlete, myocarditis/COVID-19 and the athlete, sports participation, and physical activity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, inherited arrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation, among many others.

One of the things that make this book unique is the way the authors have presented information in a concise and jargon-free manner. The clinical reviews are designed to offer actionable insights for clinical practice.
