Shared decision-making (SDM) in sports cardiology involves athlete-clinician dialogue on treatment and return-to-play. Key benefits include personalized care and patient engagement, despite institutional barriers.
Area of Science:
- Sports Cardiology
- Clinical Decision-Making
- Patient Autonomy
Background:
- Shared decision-making (SDM) is crucial for athletes with cardiovascular conditions.
- Existing literature lacks a comprehensive overview of SDM approaches in sports cardiology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of SDM in sports cardiology.
- To identify current approaches, benefits, and barriers to SDM.
Main Methods:
- Scoping review methodology.
- Screened 6,058 records, including 37 articles.
Main Results:
- SDM defined as dialogue on management, treatment, and return-to-play.
- Benefits: enhanced understanding, personalized plans, holistic care.
- Barriers: institutional pressure, multiple perspectives, provider liability.
Conclusions:
- SDM is essential for athlete autonomy and engagement in sports cardiology.
- Addressing barriers is necessary for effective implementation of SDM.
- Promoting SDM ensures patient-centered cardiovascular care for athletes.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
