I Congratulate Lars Andrews for writing his book Cardiac Athletes Lars is a Chief Cardiac Physiologist, a man of great vision and heart. Luckily for us, Lars is now living in Australia. I wish I had been given a copy of this book prior to losing my own young cardiac athlete. I would recommend this book to any athlete with or without a diagnosed heart condition, parents, our medical community and coaches. This is a book not just for athletes, a group we consider to be elite but for anyone who enjoys sporting activities. Youth Heart Watch is dedicated to raising awareness of and the early detection of heart conditions in our young. When a young, fit and physically active person is diagnosed with a heart condition there is often a great sense of loss and confusion. I think this is a great resource for any organisation conducting screening programs. Lars has established a website, a community for Heart Patients medically cleared to participate in competitive sports, a FB page and an interactive forum to support Cardiac Athletes. Proceeds from Lars book are also being directed to the provision of screening and AEDS. Please visit the Cardiac Atheltes FB page for more information.
