Participation in athletics at both the recreational and competitive
levels has grown enormously over the last decade, and now involves
a substantial segment of the population of many countries,
particularly those in Europe and North America. This change in the
life-style of many individuals has been accompanied by the desire
and necessity on the part of physicians to define the consequences
of chronic athletic training and competition to the participant.
Coincident with the of public interest in sporting competition has
been the evolution and growth development of new non-invasive
technologies in cardiology (such as M-mode and two-dimensional
echocardiography and radionuclide angiography) which have permitted
investigators to study directly and more precisely the morphology
and function of the heart and cardiovascular system. Hence, over
the past several years our knowledge has been greatly enhanced with
regard to the features of the normal 'athlete heart' and the
relationship of athletic conditioning to preexistent cardiovascular
disease, as well as the causes of sudden death in athletes. The
present treatise on 'Sports cardiology: Exercise in Health and
Cardio vascular Disease' is an impressive reference document which
is also timely. It fulfills an important role in summarizing most
of the available data that has been accumulated over the last 10
years in a large number of athletes participating in a variety of
different sports. Drs. I. Bekaert and R."
