Dedicated to protecting the hearts of athletes and recreational sportspeople
The Sports Cardiology Association of Serbia brings together experts dedicated to preventing sudden cardiac death in athletes, which calls for regular examinations of athletes and of people who want to take up sport (recreation included). Most of them, young as they are, know their field exceptionally well and see the problems of cardiology in sport clearly. The Association has continued the publishing policy of the Sports Medicine Association of Serbia, along with creating the courses needed to diagnose and treat cardiac conditions and diseases in sport. Our first experiences show that we have taken the right steps and that the results of our work can be significant.
I invite all interested colleagues to join us and, through their work, help every healthcare institution in Serbia adopt a modern approach to athletes, especially those with cardiovascular problems.
Goals of the association
- Advancing sports cardiology
- Working for the consistent use of sports cardiology diagnostics in the healthcare of athletes, of people taking part in sport and recreation, and in other forms of physical education
- Protecting the professional interests of internal medicine specialists – cardiologists
- Organising education for healthcare workers, physical education teachers and people in other professions involved in sport
- Introducing regular examinations for people who play sport recreationally, and for people with cardiovascular disease for whom training is a therapeutic measure and has to be prescribed individually
- Cooperation with international, European, regional and national associations of cardiology, sports cardiology and sports medicine
