Master Athletes and Cardiovascular Risk

from Dr RR Baliga's "Got Knowledge Doc" Podkast · host MasterMedFacts LLC

Master athletes challenge one of medicine's most elegant assumptions: that fitness always protects. In the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) consensus statement on athletes with abnormal cardiovascular findings, a paradox emerges—higher fitness, yet distinct patterns of risk: atrial fibrillation, coronary calcium, myocardial fibrosis. The lesson is not to discourage exercise—but to refine our lens. For the clinician: risk stratification must be individualized. For the athlete: performance and prudence must coexist. 🏃‍♂️ The heart adapts. ⚡ The heart remembers. 🫀 The heart deserves respect. #Cardiology #SportsCardiology #Prevention #JACC #PrecisionMedicine
