Sports Cardiology is an emerging field within cardiology. ESC Guidelines have outlined the scope and clinical statements on diagnostics, therapy and exercise recommendations have been published. However, the practical aspects in addition to the scientific and clinical background are often lacking in those becoming interested in preventive and sports cardiology.
The days can be booked as a total or each day separately. Low numbers of attendees of 15-20 will assure a hands-on teaching atmosphere. A certificate will be handed out after completion of each course.
