Dhrubo Rakhit et al. Heart Lung Circ. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

The following four cases are typical of the dilemmas faced by sports cardiologists on a regular basis. These are real-life cases and, for each, in addition to a focussed evaluation, the authors openly discuss the clinical predicament and give their personal viewpoints. The cases are designed to be engaging and informative, demonstrating the benefits of expertise in sports cardiology when confronted with athletes with cardiological conundrums.
