Participation in organized sports across the globe has markedly increased over the past decade, and, in parallel, the clinical practice and research activity centered on the cardiac care for athletes within the feld of sports cardiology has expanded expo- nentially. Recognizing the unique diagnostic and management challenges in opti- mizing the heart health of athletes and refective of the increasing importance assigned to protecting the hearts of athletes, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) in 2011 launched the ACC Section of Sports and Exercise Cardiology. A foundation in the growth of sports cardiology has been the development of a refned and enhanced understanding of the physiological manifestations of exercise on the heart. This improved characterization of exercise-induced cardiac remodel- ing, recognizing the relative infuence of such modifers as sport type, duration and intensity of training, age, gender, race, size, and genetics, has vastly improved our ability to screen for subclinical cardiac disease and differentiate normal physiology from pathology. It is essential for healthcare providers who screen and treat athletes at all skill levels to have a frm grasp of the tenets of sports cardiology and readily available reference data encompassing the key elements within this growing feld. The cumulative clinical experience gained from caring for athletes training and competing with existing cardiac conditions has resulted in the rapid evolution of recommendations guiding sporting participation and the recognition of the impor- tance of shared decision-making. A contemporaneous challenge has been the devas- tation wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sport and health organizations now confront signifcant challenges designing and implementing safe athlete return to play (RTP) strategies. In this textbook, we will review the critical issues and data surrounding concerns of potential cardiac sequelae of COVID-19, and their impact on athlete screening and RTP plans, as the newest element in the feld of sports cardiology. Finally, the feld of sports cardiology has pushed the practicing cardiologist from the clinical facilities to the sports training facilities where they must participate in the acute evaluation and management of athletes in addition to provide guidance on effective emergence action plans.

v vi Preface

Refecting these challenges, this textbook is divided into three parts: 1. Pre-participation Cardiac screening of Athletes 2. Management and Recommendations for Athletes with Existing Cardiac Disorders 3. Sideline Management of Acute Cardiac Conditions in Athletes The purpose of this textbook is to assist healthcare providers manage the cardiac care of athletes across the spectrum of these essential components. We will review best practices for using and interpreting diagnostic tests commonly employed in the cardiac evaluation of athletes, including the 12-lead electrocardiogram, advanced , and genetic testing. Treatment of cardiac disorders, ranging from acute symptoms that develop suddenly during competition to chronic conditions that require longitudinal management and assessment, will be reviewed with incor- poration of latest guideline recommendations. This textbook will provide a frame- work to aid in the provision of optimal care for athletic patients of all ages both on and off the playing feld.
