The Emerging World of Sports Cardiology

Globally we hold our athletes in the highest regard. Every four years, we send our greatest athletes to represent our country at the Olympic Games. For many of us, the athlete is the epitome of physical health and fitness. However, just like any of us, athletes can suffer from heart disease.

For the young athlete, typically those individuals under age 35, these diseases are most commonly congenital conditions that cause abnormalities in the thickness of the heart muscle, the origins of the heart arteries, or changes in the electrical system of the heart that predispose them to arrhythmias. In the more mature individual, heart disease comes in the form of common disorders such as coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation

I am always surprised that many accomplished endurance athletes have stories filled with lifestyle choices that include poor diets, toxic habits like smoking, and significant family history of heart disease. In fact, studies of marathon runners find that a disproportionate number are former smokers. In fact, these underlying predispositions are often the reason that many athletes turn to endurance training in their 40s and 50s. Unfortunately, many of the lifestyle choices we make in our 20s and 30s affect our heart risk throughout life.
Cardiology 2018 provides a platform to share your view along with the experts and also provide solutions to some of the problems faced in the field of Cardiology and Interventional Cardiology.

Head - Heart

"Head and heart: how research must go hand in hand" It’s tempting to see problems with the heart and head as completely separate. We even talk about them as separate entities when making decisions — do you go with your head or your heart? But the truth is, what goes on in your heart really matters for your head. People who have coronary heart disease, or who have had a heart attack, are twice as likely to have a stroke as those who haven’t — and people with atrial fibrillation (one of the most common forms of abnormal heart rhythm) are five times more likely to have a stroke. #Cardiology #Heart #Head #HeartCongress #heartdiseases #interventionalcardiology #CardiacSurgery #cardiologyconferences #oncology #Cardiologymeetings #HeartConferences #cardiooncology #cardiovasculardiseases #medicalconferences #medevents #Cardiology2019 #January2019 #Dubai #UAE

Acute heart failure: What you need to know- Ian Franks

Acute heart failure is an illness that hits suddenly and without any earlier symptoms. Indeed, the medical definition of acute, according to MediLexicon, is "a health effect, usually of rapid onset, brief, not prolonged; sometimes loosely used to mean severe." This article looks at the causes, symptoms, and other facts about acute  heart failure   to help people understand this condition better. Types of heart failure Acute heart failure is heart failure that occurs suddenly and sometimes without warning. Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump enough blood to serve the body's needs. It can be acute or chronic. Chronic heart failure develops slowly, while acute occurs suddenly. The heart is a complex organ. Any failure can take place on either the left or right side or both. The heart has four chambers, which work in a rhythm to pump blood around the body. If these chambers stiffen, they may not fill sufficiently. If the heart, whi
