title: [Consensus heart and vascular diseases and sports].
abstract: A consensus meeting on persons with a cardiovascular disease engaging in sports was held on 25 November 1988. The purpose was to arrive at uniformity in counselling and attendance. For these purposes, the exercise tolerance of the cardiovascular patients has to be weighed against the expected work load. The recommendations should be based on examinations suitable to the nature of the disorder. Guidelines for performance- and recreation-directed athletic activities are presented for a number of cardiovascular diseases. In counselling and attendance the medication used should also be taken into account. Expertise in counselling and attendance is of great importance for prevention of injuries. This is mostly achieved by team work with the sports physician coordinating.
