The proudest moment of my academic life. 20 year experience shows that deaths are 3x greater than expected. Up to 70% players with serious diseases can be tested

Meeting CRY was (thanks Alison Cox) the best thing that has happened in my medical and academic career. In turn I have been able to support so many families with inherited cardiac disease and sports people AND train shape the careers of so many magnificent cardiologists.

Exercise is very important in the management of patients with heart failure. Aerobic and high interval studies have yielded good results. Physicians must include exercise in their management plan

I am very proud to be the cardiologist for this charity which has helped to evaluate and diagnose numerous young individuals with serious cardiac disease. Apart from assessing asymptomatic people.
Thanks to our supporters and families, we held 38 screening days in September with 3666 young people screened, covering 9197 miles across the UK. Go to
for a list of upcoming screenings.

I really enjoyed giving this talk. All patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy should perform some exercise. There are several knowledge gaps that need to be filled. Time for some large trials.

Screening identified 42 (0.38%) athletes with diseases capable of causing sudden death and enabled treatment in 70%. Over 90% had no warning symptoms

Interesting study in

@DreznerJon
@SSharmacardio
We are more aware of how common sudden death in the young is. We know about several causes and how they can be identified. We know 1 in 300 young people in the UK have potentially serious heart disease. Making progress in determining how to test the young using cheap methods.
Can too much exercise be bad for you? Earlier this year I narrowly dodged 5 cardiac arrests caused by a buildup of years of excessive endurance exercise. Here's my story:
It is all getting back on track. The London half marathon had over 10,000 participants today. Great effort from all the runners

Master athletes have more coronary calcium and mote plaques. The number of plaques may be less in cyclists than runners. Plaques are calcified which may mitigate risk of myocardial infarction

The greatest strength of this paper is to highlight the fact that although SCD in female athletes is much less common than males, IT STILL OCCURS hence and they should receive the same attention as male athletes in relation to cardiac screening
