📚 About This Summit

Sports cardiology requires a careful balance between protecting cardiovascular health and supporting safe physical activity. The Harvard Boston Sports Cardiology Summit 2026 brings together perspectives on the athlete’s heart, contemporary screening strategies, inherited cardiac disease, exercise-associated arrhythmias and individualized participation decisions.

Presented as two days of recorded educational sessions, this summit examines practical questions encountered in sports cardiology and sports medicine—from interpreting an athlete’s ECG and choosing advanced imaging to managing coronary risk, myocarditis, cardiomyopathies and return-to-play evaluations. Case-based discussions extend the learning to female, pediatric, endurance and military or tactical athletic populations.

A focused two-day educational resource for clinicians working at the intersection of cardiovascular medicine, exercise and athlete safety.

🎯 Four Major Clinical Themes

🫀

Athlete Assessment & ECG

Pre-participation screening, athlete-specific ECG criteria, sudden cardiac arrest prevention and wearable monitoring.

⚡

Arrhythmias & Inherited Disease

Atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, ARVC, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and risk assessment.

🔬

Imaging, CAD & Exercise Testing

Echocardiography, cardiac MRI, CPET, coronary risk in masters athletes and myocarditis assessment.

🏃

Return to Play & Athlete Safety

Shared decisions, special populations, pediatric sports cardiology, AED planning and emergency preparedness.

💡 Key Topics Covered

● 2025 International ECG Criteria for Athletes

● Athlete Screening & Sudden Cardiac Death

● Atrial Fibrillation & Ventricular Arrhythmias

● Wearables & Remote Cardiac Monitoring

● Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET)

● Coronary Artery Disease in Masters Athletes

● Echocardiography & Advanced Cardiac MRI

● Myocarditis & Return-to-Play Decisions

● ARVC & Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

● Sports Participation After Cardiac Arrest

● Female Athletes & Pregnancy

● Pediatric Sports Cardiology

● Military & Tactical Athlete Care

● Altitude, Extreme Environments & Exercise

● Emergency Action Plans & AED Deployment

● Shared Decision-Making in Sports Clearance
