June 1, 2023 — The American College of Cardiology will host the annual Care of the Athletic Heart course on June 8-10, 2023, in Washington, including poster abstracts and educational sessions. The course is designed for all clinicians who provide cardiovascular care for the professional, occupational, tactical or recreational athlete. As the athletic population expands to all demographic groups, it is critical that there is a larger contingent of clinicians who understand the latest care and practice management for athletes at every level. 

Dermot Phelan, BAO, MBBCh, PhD, FACC, and Megan Wasfy, MD, FACC, will serve as the course chair and vice chair respectively. The course, which will be available both in-person and online, will feature top sports cardiology experts discussing the latest advances in sports cardiology, as well as fundamental cardiovascular diagnostic and management strategies and treatment options in the field.
