Sports cardiology is an emerging field within cardiology. ESC Guidelines have outlined the scope and clinical statements on diagnostics, therapy and exercise recommendations have been published. However, the practical aspects in addition to the scientific and clinical background are often lacking in those becoming interested in preventive and sports cardiology! The three-day seminar will give practical recommendations on the basis of general cardiology for those starting within the field as well as those already practicing in the field. The course will give an in depth overview on the specific aspects of echocardiology and exercise testing in sports cardiology. |
The course is organised in three days:
Day 1: Echocardiography in Sports Cardiology - May 6th
- Understanding the echocardiographic assessment of cardiac changes in athletes

Day 2: Basics of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) - May 7th
- Understanding the basics of exercise physiology and the physiology behind CPET
- Learning how to conduct and interpret cardiopulmonary exercise testing
Day 3: Basics in Lactate Testing - May 8th
