Exercise is an important component of maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. But there’s often an assumption that athletes, or physically active people, are not at risk of heart-related issues.

Activity can range from mild to intense -- from the amateur to the marathon runner or professional athlete. It’s vital for every type of athlete to stay on top of their heart health.
