„Cardiovascular Top Three” - Can Patients with the Most Common Cardiovascular Conditions Become Candidates for Recreational Scuba Diving?

Abstract

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes are some of the most common conditions among the population. An ever-increasing number of recreational divers forces us to consider the impact on unprepared diving patients with cardiovascular diseases, in whom profound changes occur during the dive. People in at-risk groups should have a medical check-up before diving to minimise the risk of possible complications.
