Hubert Krysztofiak, MD, PhD is the Head of the National Centre for Sports Medicine and an investigator at the Mossakowski Medical Research Centre of Polish Academy of Sciences. He is responsible for the medical care for Olympians. An important part of his activity is screening for, and management of, medical conditions that limit the ability of athletes to participate in sports training and competition or may predispose them to sudden cardiac death. He is the Chairman of the Medical Commission of the Polish Olympic Committee and the Chief Medical Officer for the Polish Olympic Team; a member of the Advisory Board of the IOC Diploma in Sports Medicine; and a member of the Sports Cardiology Section of the European Association for Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (EACPR). He was the Chairman of the Working Group on Sports Cardiology of the Polish Cardiac Society and a Member of the Board of the Polish Society of Sports Medicine. His main area of scientific activity is cardiac adaptation to exercise in athletes and the clinical approach to cardiac pathology and problems in athletes.
Professor Pawel Petkow Dimitrow, MD, PhD from the 2nd Department of Cardiology at Collegium Medicum of Jagiellonian University. The main fields of his scientific interests include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), storage diseases, and pathophysiology of coronary circulation. He is also interested in the topics of left ventricular hypertrophy and athlete's heart. He conducts research on biochemical biomarkers in HCM, and aortic stenosis and non-invasive assessment of the endothelial vasomotor function of coronary arteries. He introduced stress echocardiography in an upright position in the diagnostic examination of HCM patients. He is an author of original publications concerning HCM, which are recognised by the 2014 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines on diagnosis and management of HCM and the 2011 American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology Guidelines, as fundamental in research on HCM.
