This past weekend, our program hosted a weekend of testing young athletes for cardiovascular disorder, followed by an educational event lead by Medical Lead Dr. Saul Isserow.
With over 130 athletes, coaches, parents, health professionals, and others in attendance, this weekend was deemed a big success for the program. Sports Cardiology is a growing sub-specialty of medicine in Canada, and events like this in which we can increase awareness on athlete heart health issues and properly educate (not scare) our population are exceedingly important.
Thanks to everyone who participated or helped in some form or another, there were several of you.
