Key result
Implanted pacemakers and cardioverter-defibrillators in athletes require individualized care, shared decision-making, and specific device programming to enable safe sports participation.
Why the study?
Cardiologists increasingly face questions regarding if and under what conditions patients with pacemakers or cardioverter-defibrillators can participate in sports activities.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the management of athletes with cardiac implantable electronic devices, emphasizing the role of sports cardiology in bridging the gap between cardiovascular disease and athletic participation.
May guide shared decisions for athletes with CIEDs; leaves open need for prospective trials on programming.
