A study provides new data for patients with genetic heart disease (GHD) and exercise recommendations. For decades, those with GHD were excluded from exercise and sports participation. This has led to poor exercise tolerance, increased risk for CAD and poor outcomes in this group related to reduced fitness.  This study helps frame that those with GHD are unique and as a result, require an individualized approach to care. After expert consultation, patients with GHD can often be safe to participate in exercise including competitive sports. This is a first step in the direction of understanding the role of exercise in GHD in the care of patients who wish to exercise.  In this interview, Katherine Martinez, and Matthew Martinez MD, FACC, discuss From JACC: Return-to-Play for Elite Athletes With Genetic Heart Diseases Predisposing to Sudden Cardiac Death.    Subscribe on Apple Podcasts | Subscribe to ACCEL
