Cardiac care for athletes

Endeavor Health’s sports cardiology program is cardiovascular care that’s designed to help athletes prevent, recover and claim victory over heart issues.  

What is sports cardiology?

Sports cardiology focuses on the heart health of active individuals at all fitness levels, especially those who have experienced cardiac concerns, like heart inflammation caused by viral infections, including the coronavirus (COVID-19).  

Our team combines cutting-edge technology with deep expertise to provide personalized care for athletes who may need specialized interventions. Our goal is to help every athlete — from professionals to weekend warriors — maintain peak performance while safeguarding their heart health.

When to see a cardiologist

How do you know if you should see a sports cardiologist? If you're an athlete who has experienced symptoms like chest pain, dizziness or an irregular heartbeat, it might be time to connect with a specialist. Our team is especially equipped to work with athletes recovering from heart issues related to the coronavirus, especially “long COVID” — ensuring that your return to physical activity is as safe as possible.

Consulting with a sports cardiologist can help tailor your training regimen to your current heart health needs.

Types of sports cardiology care

At Endeavor Health, our specialists provide a wide range of cardiovascular care tailored to athletes, including:

Advanced imaging and diagnostics

Using the latest in technology, we can provide a detailed understanding of how your heart functions during physical activity.

Exercise testing and evaluation

Customized exercise testing helps us evaluate your heart's response to activity and set parameters for safe exercise.

Cardiac rehabilitation

If you've experienced a cardiac event or undergone an intervention, our rehabilitation programs are designed to help you safely regain your athletic performance.

Return-to-play assessments

For athletes recovering from coronavirus or other cardiac concerns, our return-to-play assessments ensure you're ready to play with confidence.

What to expect with sports cardiology care

Before your appointment: Your sports cardiologist will review your health history, ask about symptoms and may conduct diagnostic tests, such as echocardiograms or stress tests, to get a clear picture of your cardiovascular health.

During your evaluation: Evaluations may include exercise tests to determine how your heart performs under physical strain. Our goal is to identify any issues and provide strategies to help you stay active safely.

After your appointment: We'll provide a clear plan for moving forward — whether that means adjusting your training, starting rehab or taking new precautions. Our focus is always on helping you reach your athletic potential while prioritizing your life off the field.
