Among the various areas that Casa della Salute di Sandigliano deals with, sports medicine occupies a very important space. Aware of the importance of the sector, the Sandigliano clinics have developed a series of visits for athletes of all ages to ensure the safety of their physical state in every specialty for every type of athlete. With Dr. Giuseppe Graziola, who has a long experience in sports medicine and who works at the Casa della Salute, we will better analyze some aspects of this scientific branch.
What is the importance of the sports visit and why is it necessary to carry it out? “The sports visit – says Dr. Graziola – has always allowed the collection of numerous scientific data. The fact of carrying out thousands of fitness visits throughout the national territory has allowed an increasingly refined and dedicated classification for release for gymnastic activity. The doctor has the task of working to get people to do sport, not to avoid doing it ”.
Doctor, can you explain to us how sports medicine has evolved in recent years? “The role of sports medicine – explains the doctor – now allows, compared to forty years ago, to better frame problems such as benign arrhythmias, repolarization anomalies and has also given the possibility to discover new pathologies. Arrhythmogenic heart disease of the left ventricle is a concrete example: it was thought not to exist. It also allowed for a more detailed study of the phenomenon of heart hypertrophy, which was previously identified as pathological. It is also important to underline that, with the latest challenge of Covid, sports doctor visits allow you to find any infected. Furthermore, it is now customary to take children to a sports fitness visit and, in addition to being highly preventative, this also allows the identification of new diseases ”.
How important is sports medicine for Casa della Salute? “At the Casa della Salute it plays a very important role – says Graziola – we know that there is a great future for sports medicine. We are talking about a frontier scientific branch that continues to be explored day after day, patient after patient “.
