REVIEW ARTICLES
Exercise and Coronary Artery Disease
Assessing Causes and Managing Risks
Exercise can trigger cardiac events, even in presumably fit patients. Knowing how exercise affects cardiac parameters can guide the screening of patients who have risk factors. However, one of the most prudent approaches is teaching patients to recognize exercise-related cardiac symptoms.

Sacroiliac Joint Pain Syndrome in Active Patients
A Look Behind the Pain
The sacroiliac joint is a frequent target of sports-related trauma and repetitive stress. Pain referral patterns can complicate the diagnosis. Pain provocation testing and fluoroscopy injections are the most useful tools for making a specific diagnosis. Pain usually resolves once kinetic chain alterations are corrected with physical therapy.
