- Abstract
- (en) [I am over 35 years old and wish to participate to sports activity. Which cardiovascular screening should be performed?] Regular exercise is associated with a reduced risk in global and cardiovascular mortality. On the contrary, moderate or vigorous physical exertion has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death in patients harboring cardiovascular disease. identifying these patients is a real challenge. The risk is related to the patient’s age, as well as the presence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. (Self)-Assessment of cardiovascular risk factors and habitual physical activity levels allow for a rapid screening. individuals deemed to be at risk require medical evaluation, while those at a higher risk or with poor physical fitness must undergo exercise testing
