SportsCardiologyBC aims to make the incredibly beneficial act of exercising even safer through resea Exercise is unbelievably beneficial.

The substantial amount of data indicating that exercise is a preventive measure for all measures of mental and physical health is truly remarkable. Unfortunately there is a higher risk of sudden cardiac death among athletes than non-athletes due to the strain put on the heart. This risk is present in young athletes (under 35) due to congenital heart disease and in masters athletes (over 35) due to

coronary heart disease. We plan to research these two categories of athletes and understand what the prevalence of these diseases are in our population and how we can help them continue to exercise in a safe and effective manner. We hope to reduce the risk associated with exercise through our four established pillars of:
- Screening
- Education
- Advocacy
- Research

We are heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred during Lapu Lapu Day in Vancouver.

In the light of this tragedy that has touched the hearts of so many, the Cardiology Department would like to invite the UBC Hospital Filipino community for afternoon tea, coffee, and snacks.

This will be a time to come together, share support, and honour the strength and resilience of the Filipino community.

Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the whole Filipino community during this difficult time.
