Cardiac remodeling is typically associated with disease and can lead to heart failure. In
contrast, remodeling that occurs in the athlete's heart is considered an adaptive …

In general, cardiac hypertrophy (an increase in heart mass) is a poor prognostic sign.
Cardiac enlargement is a characteristic of most forms of heart failure. Cardiac hypertrophy …

Cardiac hypertrophy can be defined as an increase in heart mass. Pathological cardiac
hypertrophy (heart growth that occurs in settings of disease, eg hypertension) is a key risk …

During last decades, most studies have examined the exercise-induced remodeling defined
as “athlete's heart”. During exercise, there is an increased cardiac output that causes …

Intense exercise may cause heart remodeling to compensate increases in blood pressure or
volume by increasing muscle mass. Cardiac changes do not involve only the left ventricle …

The heart is the primary pump that circulates blood through the entire cardiovascular system,
serving many important functions in the body. Exercise training provides favorable …

The benefits of exercise in humans on the heart have been well recognized for many years.
Long-term endurance exercise training can induce physiologic cardiac hypertrophy with …

Although the sports-specific adaptations and differentiation of an athlete's heart (AH) were
first described 100 years ago, the condition is still an area of active debate. In clinical …

The athlete's heart is a constellation of cardiac morphologic changes, including increased
left ventricular volume, increased left ventricular mass, increased left atrial volume, and right …

Systemic hypertension and physical exercise are both associated with cardiac adaptations.
The impact is most prominent on the left side of the heart, which hypertrophies leading to left …
