Mashup Score: 18Exercise and Sports Participation in Complex Congenital Heart Disease in Teenagers and Adults - American College of Cardiology - 1 month(s) ago
Sports and/or exercise participation is crucial to the well-being of many patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) but requires careful consideration of risks and optimal training programs. Exercise training has been shown to successfully improve peak oxygen uptake and muscle mass in patients with ACHD, including those with Fontan circulation, tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), and transposition of the great arteries. Additionally, exercise training has been shown to improve quality of life in postopera

Mashup Score: 45I Am an Athlete: Will This Statin Affect My Performance? - American College of Cardiology - 2 month(s) ago
Athletes are more prone to the development of statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS); however, there is inconclusive evidence to support a pathophysiologic effect of statins on muscle weakness or reduced aerobic capacity. Clinicians should consider a stepwise approach to prevent the development of SAMS, discussing the risks and benefits of statin therapy with the patient, documenting pre-existing musculoskeletal symptoms, and identifying SAMS risk factors before initiating a n onlipophilic statin such

Mashup Score: 17Climate Change and Its Impact on the Cardiovascular Health of the Athlete - American College of Cardiology - 3 month(s) ago
The benefits of exercise on the cardiovascular (CV) system are well understood, but the changing environment in which exercise is performed may add important nuance to medical considerations. Cardiologists should discuss adequate hydration and advise that patients avoid exercising in moderate or worse air quality based on the easily accessible air quality index. Ongoing research is needed to better understand how to educate and advocate for climate mitigation and adaptation strategies to protect patients.

Mashup Score: 3CV Sports Chat: Coronary Artery Calcium in the Masters' Athlete – Part 1 - American College of Cardiology - 5 month(s) ago
Hypothesized causes for athletes’ development of coronary artery calcium (CAC) include shear stress on coronary vasculature and potentially transient inflammation observed during intense exercise. Increased fitness correlates to lower major cardiac event rates for any given CAC burden. While correlation between exercise intensity as measured through Metabolic Equivalent of Task, (MET) hours* (a combination of exercise intensity and duration) and coronary plaque has been demonstrated, the exact relationship

Mashup Score: 0CV Sports Chat: Moving From Exercise Prescription to Shared Decision Making - American College of Cardiology - 7 month(s) ago
Athletes with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) may feel confident about participating in exercise. However, athletes having a thorough and careful discussion with a qualified specialist in HCM before embarking on any exercise regime is crucial. The aim is not to simply provide an exercise prescription but rather to facilitate a collaborative decision-making process between the athlete and health care professional. This process involves gaining a comprehensive understanding of the athlete’s values and
