The Journal of the American College of Cardiology has issued a four-part focus seminar series on sports cardiology and of the impact of physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise training on the general U.S. population and professional athletes' cardiovascular health.
In the first part of the focus seminar series, the authors highlight the need for regular exercise to meet or exceed the current physical activity guidelines for reducing cardiovascular risk in the general U.S. population.
In part two of the focus seminar series, the authors said that previous research has found that exercise has long been recognized to contribute to a reduced risk of heart failure and mortality. The current 2020 AHA/ACC Guideline for Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy found that clinician-patient shared decision-making can be used to determine whether an athlete with HCM or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can safely participate in sports.
In the final part of the JACC focus seminar series, the authors discuss whether the effects of exercise are always beneficial and protective in professional athletes, how exercise-induced cardiac remodeling (also known as "athlete's heart") can contribute to the development of arrhythmias and address the knowledge gap between male and female athletes' cardiovascular health.
