Although it’s rare for a seemingly healthy athlete to experience a life-threatening heart problem while playing a sport, it can happen.

The sports cardiology team at the Heart and Vascular Institute has deep expertise in diagnosing and treating serious heart problems that often go undetected. Our personalized treatment plan keeps you safe while you’re on the move.

Advanced heart care for all athletes at Lehigh Valley Heart and Vascular Institute

Whether you play for fun or competitively, our sports cardiology program offers you:

Dedicated heart and sports specialists: Our sports cardiology care team is focused on diagnosing and treating all athletes who may have a heart condition.

Integrated care approach: We treat your heart as well as the rest of your body. In our Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Program, you receive expert care from exercise physiologists, physical therapists, nutritionists and other sports medicine specialists.

Advanced diagnostics

We use the latest heart imaging technology to diagnose potential heart problems in athletes, including:

  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM): Thickened heart muscle and leaky mitral valve
  • Long QT syndrome: Sudden, uncontrollable changes in heart rhythm (arrhythmia) brought on by exercise
  • Marfan syndrome: An inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the heart and blood vessels

Complete heart therapies

As one of the state’s largest heart institutes, we offer a range of heart therapies including:

  • Comprehensive heart rhythm management for long QT syndrome and other types of arrhythmias
  • Treatments for structural heart problems, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the leading cause of cardiac arrest in young athletes

Agnes Hardy-Boyer

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patient

From a 20-kilometer race along the northwest coast of France to a 5K run in the Lehigh Valley, Hardy-Boyer enjoys setting new personal bests. But exercise wasn’t always easy for the active Easton woman.
