[Sports activity in heart disease: synthesis of new recommendations].
The practice of moderate and regular sports is beneficial for health, and should then always be promoted. The intensive practice of sports, especially for competition, increases the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with heart disease. Facing to a patient with heart disease requiring a certificate of non-contra-indication for sports practice, the cardiologist can sometimes consider himself/herself helpless for managing accurately the situation. Recently, recommendations have been published and summarized herein, in order to guide the final decision.
