Athletic training induces adaptations in heart physiology, enhancing performance but sometimes posing unique health risks. This book examines how exercise impacts cardiac function, covering topics like stroke volume, heart rate, and hypertrophy. It also discusses conditions like athlete’s heart and potential risks such as arrhythmias. With a focus on sports cardiology, it’s essential for clinicians working with athletes.
