Abstract

Introduction: The present position paper focuses on screening individuals from the general population who are interested in engaging in leisure time physical activities. This document, which relies on the expert perspective of the Sports Cardiology Forum of the Israeli Heart Society, was created to equip attending physicians with essential tools for addressing such inquiries. Given that sudden death resulting from ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality among individuals over 35 years old who participate in high-intensity sports, screening within this demographic aims to detect coronary disease and its risk factors. Regular physical activity is a crucial component of healthy living, with its benefits outweighing potential risks. Asymptomatic individuals planning to undertake light to moderate physical activity, even if they are at high risk for atherosclerotic disease, do not necessitate preparticipation evaluation.
