Sports Cardiology · Team Physician · Podcast Host
Heart health for people who have no plans to slow down.
Dr. Adrian Hale is a cardiologist who helps athletes and active adults train hard, stay safe and understand what their heart is telling them.
In-person and virtual consultations · Referral welcome, not required
Does this sound familiar?
Something feels off. The standard answer is to slow down.
- Your heart rate climbs higher in training than it used to.
- Your performance has dropped and you can’t explain why.
- You notice palpitations or skipped beats at rest.
- You were told to “take it easy” without a real explanation.
- Heart disease runs in your family, and you train hard.
- You wonder whether your training load is still safe as you age.
Active people want answers, not a lecture to stop. Getting them starts with a cardiologist who understands training.
If you have chest pain, fainting or severe shortness of breath, call emergency services right away.
Why answers are hard to find
Most heart care is built around people who don’t train.
An athlete’s heart can look different on tests, and much of standard cardiology is designed for the general population. So results get read without the context of how you train, and the default advice is to do less.
Dr. Hale interprets your heart in the context of your training, so every recommendation fits the life you want to keep living.
