Sports cardiology is an advancing field dedicated to improving the cardiovascular care of athletes. Typically, this is carried out in a specialized center which aim at transforming the delivery of cardiovascular care in athletes to promote safe athletic participation. In our Middle East region, this area still in its infancy, and the cardiovascular health issues affecting athletes are not well recognized. In addition, our region lacks specific guidelines related to physical assessment of athletes prior to participation in sports. Furthermore, we don’t have specific scientific research that address certain health issues related to athletes including sudden cardiac death. In the summer of 2019, Bahrain had few cases of sudden death among people in recreational areas over few months.
