Ο κ. Χλαπουτάκης Γεώργιος είναι Ειδικός Καρδιολόγος και διατηρεί ιδιωτικό ιατρείο στο Μαρούσι. Ασχολείται με την κλινική καρδιολογία και είναι πιστοποιημένος από το υπουργείο υγείας για υπερηχογραφική εκτίμηση της καρδιακής λειτουργίας. Τον Αύγουστο του 2022, μετά από έντεκα χρόνια επιτυχημένης πορείας ως ιδιώτης καρδιολόγος, ανακαίνισε πλήρως το ιατρείο του με μηχανήματα state of the art στην καρδιαγγειακή απεικόνιση. Έχει τεράστια εμπειρία στην κλινική καρδιολογία, μιας και ειδικεύτηκε στη χώρα μας σε νοσοκομεία αιχμής, εξετάζοντας μεγάλο όγκο ασθενών καθημερινά. Παρακολουθεί στενά τις εξελίξεις στο χώρο της καρδιολογίας, τόσο συμμετέχοντας σε συνέδρια στην Ελλάδα και το εξωτερικό, αλλά και μέσα από συνδρομητικές βάσεις δεδομένων έτσι, ώστε να κατέχει τη σύγχρονη γνώση. Συνεργάζεται με κορυφαίους συναδέλφους σε δημόσια και ιδιωτικά νοσοκομεία, σε περίπτωση που ο ασθενής του χρήζει δευτεροβάθμιας ή τριτοβάθμιας αντιμετώπισης. Ως αθλητής ο ίδιος (συμμετείχε επί σειρά ετών σε ανταγωνιστική ποδηλασία μεγάλων αποστάσεων -7 σπαρτακειάδες και πολυάριθμους αγώνες) είναι δικτυωμένος και δέχεται στο ιατρείο του αθλητές υψηλών επιδόσεων όλων των ηλικιών. Έτσι μπορεί να δώσει χρήσιμες συμβουλές σε όλο το φάσμα των αθλούμενων, από τους αρχάριους, μέχρι και όσους ασχολούνται με τον πρωταθλητισμό. Η μεγάλη του εμπειρία εξασφαλίζει την ασφάλεια στην άθληση, προστατεύοντας από την μία πλευρά τον αθλούμενο από προβλήματα υγείας, αλλά και αποφεύγοντας την αναίτια διακοπή της άσκησης.
