Inaugural Sports and Exercise Cardiology Symposium
Presented by the California Chapter of the American College of Cardiology
in partnership with Stanford University.
There are approximately 5 million active athletes across high
school, collegiate, professional and master's levels in the
United States. Since the athletic population is continuing to
expand in all major demographic groups, a larger contingent of
practice-ready clinicians who understand the contemporary care
and practice management strategies for athletes and those who
are highly active is needed.
The Sports Cardiology symposium intends to provide a platform to
health providers who cardiovascular care to athletes, including
cardiologists and sports medicine as well as advanced practice
providers (NPs, CNS and PAs) to discuss can debate contemporary
topics in Sports Cardiology.
The California Chapter of the American College of Cardiology –
in partnership with Stanford University - will deliver a 3 hour
symposium on guideline—driven cardiovascular care for the
athlete and highly active individuals. This will include two
lectures and 3 case presentation moderated by a panel of experts
and 2 case led discussion by experts in the field of Sports
Cardiology.
Objectives include:
1. Identify appropriate populations for pre-participation
screening
2. Perform appropriate cardiac risk assessment, including the
use of diagnostic studies in athletes and those who are active.
3. Debate the current and continuing controversies in sports
cardiology, including pre-participation screening, management of
arrhythmia differentiating athletes' heart from cardiomyopathy
and returning to sport after cardiovascular
surgery/intervention.
Time:
3:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location:
Assembly Hall, Stanford Hospital
