Dr. Fouad, in your experience, what role does proper training and conditioning play in preventing heart-related issues for athletes, especially in high-pressure situations?
Interview with Dr. Ahmed El-Sabbani, a cardiologist at Al-Azhar University Hospitals and Dr. Mohamed Fouad, head of the sports medicine department at the same hospital.
Editor: Good evening to both of you. Thank you for joining me today. Let’s start with some background information. Dr. El-Sabbani, could you tell us more about common heart conditions that athletes might experience during games?
Dr. El-Sabbani: Of course. There are various heart conditions that athletes might experience during games, ranging from minor issues like arrhythmias to more severe ones like heart attacks or sudden cardiac arrest. The most common of these is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is when the heart muscle becomes abnormally thickened, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood efficiently. Other conditions include coronary artery disease, which can lead to reduced blood flow to the heart, and long QT syndrome, which can cause irregular heartbeats.
Editor: And Dr. Fouad, what precautions should sports clubs be taking to prevent such incidents from happening?
Dr. Fouad: Sports clubs should make sure they have qualified medical personnel on-site during games, as well as immediate access to defibrillators and other lifesaving equipment. Regular check-ups for all players should be mandatory, and clubs should maintain detailed medical records for each player. This includes a thorough history of any previous medical conditions, as well as regular physical exams and ECG tests. It’s essential that players are aware of the signs and symptoms of heart problems, and know how to react in case of an emergency.
Editor: That’s an important point you’ve brought up, Dr. Fouad. What are some of the warning signs that players or coaches should look out for?
Dr. Fouad: Some warning signs include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or an irregular heartbeat. These signs can be subtle and vary from person to person, so it’s crucial for players to know their body and understand when something doesn’t feel right. If these symptoms do occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.
