Abstract
The guidelines for sports cardiology have recently been published for the first time by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). They address recommendations for leisure time exercise and competitive sports in athletes with cardiovascular diseases. The spectrum ranges from women during pregnancy, athletes with increased cardiovascular risk and risk factors or with a genetic predisposition, such as ion channelopathies, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart diseases as well as patients with valvular heart diseases, coronary heart disease, after myocardial infarction, with arrhythmia and with heart failure. A detailed cardiological evaluation of the athlete with heart disease is the basis for detailed and individually tailored recommendations with respect to the type of sport, mode, duration and intensity of physical exercise, physical training and the capability for competitive sports. Evidence from the current literature and the experience of the sports cardiologist are the basis for shared decision making between the sports cardiologist and the athlete/patient, which is becoming increasingly more important. Together, they will decide which sport can be practiced defining intensity and duration.
