Abstract
Cardiac disease can present in the training room through three portals: the preparticipation history and physical may identify concerns, the athlete may present with symptoms, or screening modalities may demonstrate abnormal findings. Training-related cardiovascular remodeling can mimic real disease, therefore providers must be able to separate the two. Sports medicine providers must be knowledgeable in how these present and how to care for these concerns to ensure proper care and avoid unnecessary restrictions of athletes. This article discusses 10 common cardiac concerns that can arise in the training room.
