Athletic training is associated with a spectrum of morphologic and functional cardiac
adaptations known as 'the athlete's heart'. 1, 2 To the purpose of the present document an …

Objectives: The aim of this meta-analysis was to derive normal reference values of
biventricular size and function estimated by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in …

Myocardial diseases are associated with an increased risk of potentially fatal cardiac
arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death/cardiac arrest during exercise, including hypertrophic …

Objectives The goal of this study was to explore the association between exercise duration
versus exercise intensity and adverse outcome in patients with arrhythmogenic …

Exercise is associated with unequivocal health benefits and results in many structural and
functional changes of the myocardium that enhance performance and prevent heart failure …

Background: Most of our knowledge on training-induced cardiac remodeling is derived from
men, with the paucity of data from women representing an important gap in knowledge. The …

Opinion statement Cardiovascular remodeling in response to sustained moderate and high-
intensity exercise is a well-established phenomenon. Following more than a century of work …

Highlights•The RV of competitive athletes is often enlarged when applying the current
cutoffs.•The current recommendations for the general population cannot be applied to …

The athlete's heart is a well-known phenomenon in adults practising competitive sports.
Unfortunately, to date, most of the studies on training-induced cardiac remodelling have …
