Key result
Sport diving demands careful cardiovascular fitness assessment in patients with pre-existing PFO, hypertension, or arrhythmias.
Why the study?
Sport diving places high demands on the cardiovascular system and can pose life-threatening risks in the presence of certain cardiovascular conditions, requiring better understanding of its physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms.
Understanding the cardiovascular demands and potential risks of sport diving is essential for safely assessing the health status of diving candidates.
