Predominance of normal left ventricular geometry in the male 'athlete's heart'

Predominance of normal left ventricular geometry in the male 'athlete's heart' HEART Utomi, V., Oxborough, D., Ashley, E., Lord, R., Fletcher, S., Stembridge, M., Shave, R., Hoffman, M. D., Whyte, G., Somauroo, J., Sharma, S., George, K. 2014; 100 (16): 1264-?Abstract
This study evaluated (a) global LV adaption to endurance versus resistance training in male athletes, (b) LV assessment using by modern imaging technologies and (c) the impact of scaling for body size on LV structural data.A prospective cross-sectional design assessed the LV in 18 elite endurance-trained (ET), 19 elite resistance-trained (RT) and 17 sedentary control (CT) participants. Standard 2D, tissue Doppler and speckle tracking echocardiography assessed LV structure and function. Indexing of LV structures to body surface area (BSA) was undertaken using ratio and allometric scaling.Absolute and scaled LV end-diastolic volume (ET: 43.7±6.8; RT: 34.2±7.4; CT 32.5±8.9 mL/m(1.5); p<0.05) and LV mass (ET: 29.8±6.6; RT: 25.4±8.7; CT 25.9±6.4 g/m(2.7); p?
