HEART AND SPORTS

Running, swimming, playing football or volleyball involves different amounts of intense phisycal activity that proves heart and body.

Sports cardiologist is a really important figure for preventive screening and performance improvement. Aaerobic exercise depends on how our heart adapt to the effort and, in this, a sports cardiologist’s expertises are unique.
