SPORT AND HEART

Today's sport expects top results from athletes, and in order to achieve great sporting success, athletes must train with extremely high intensity. The loads placed on the athlete require the adaptation of the organism to the efforts, ie it includes the adaptation of the cardiovascular, respiratory and primarily the musculoskeletal system. In order to ensure the athlete’s health, it is essential that each athlete undergo a detailed health examination that must be holistic and not focused on just one part. A medical examination should determine the athlete's general health and diagnose and examine any pathology if the examination reveals. Since sport does not only bring with it sports injuries in the form of musculoskeletal injuries, which is of course the most common, there can also be a problem with the cardiovascular system either due to heavy loads or if the athlete has a congenital heart defect that has not been previously diagnosed. Therefore, detailed cardiac treatment is very important for athletes in order to preserve the health of athletes and prevent sudden cardiac death, as the worst consequence. Nowadays, when medicine has advanced tremendously, it is possible to diagnose and treat almost all cardiovascular diseases.

Depending on the diagnosis and the general condition of the athlete, and the dana results, a decision is made on whether the athlete can continue to play sports or not. It is far better to detect heart disease as soon as possible in order to start treatment on time, and thus reduce the possibility of sudden cardiac death.However, some heart diseases require athletes to stop playing sports, which can cause a negative emotional reaction in athletes, but the health of the athlete must come first. If an athlete is diagnosed with one of the inherited heart diseases, a member of the immediate family can potentially be saved.
