AHA and ACC Statement on Competitive Sports Participation for Athletes With CV Abnormalities

What is the importance of shared decision-making when counselling competitive athletes with cardiovascular abnormalities? In this short interview, Dr Jonathan Ho-Youn Kim (Emory University, Atlanta, US) discusses the new scientific statement from AHA and ACC on clinical considerations for practitioners counselling competitive athletes with cardiovascular abnormalities. Dr Kim highlights the statement's focus on shared decision-making which requires the inclusion of the athlete within discussions and the importance of risk-stratification. Since the last update in 2015, the current statement includes new considerations on athletes older than the age of 35, athletes competing in extreme sports, and athletes with cardiovascular conditions not previously addressed.
