Response to equine cardiac adverse events during sports
Summary Cardiac adverse events and sudden death are a feared scenario for equine veterinarians, with serious consequences for animal health, riders' safety and the social licence to operate equestrian sports. The response to equine cardiac adverse events (CAEs) during sports is poorly defined. In this review, we provide information to help assess horses post‐exercise and suggest a rapid assessment and treatment protocol for veterinarians responding to CAEs during equestrian sports.
