Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes are some of the most common conditions among the population. An ever-increasing number of recreational divers forces us to consider the impact on unprepared diving patients with cardiovascular diseases, in whom profound changes occur during the dive. People in at-risk groups should have a medical check-up before diving to minimise the risk of possible complications.
