Prolonged and intensive exercise induces remodeling of all four cardiac chambers, a
physiological process which is coined as the “athlete's heart”. This cardiac adaptation …

Exercise training induces morphological and functional cardiovascular adaptation known as
the “athlete's heart” with changes including dilatation, hypertrophy, and increased stroke …

Exercise-associated benefits on the cardiovascular systems are well established. Although
exercise-associated sudden cardiac death is rare, most deaths in young athletes are due to …

Sports cardiology is one of the most challenging fields in clinical cardiology, where both
knowledge and experience deal with difficult scenarios in a daily basis. This special issue …

Over the last decades, interest toward athlete's heart has progressively increased, leading to
improve the knowledge on exercise-induced heart modifications. Sport may act as a trigger …

Purpose of review Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is frequently used in the
investigation of suspected cardiac disease in athletes. In this review, we discuss how CMR …

Regular physical training is associated with several physiological alterations in cardiac
structure and function to promote a substantial and sustained increase in cardiac output …

Athlete's heart (AH) is the result of morphological and functional cardiac modifications due to
long-lasting athletic training. Athletes can develop very marked structural myocardial …

Abstract “Athlete's heart” is characterized by an increase in ventricular chamber sizes and
myocardial mass (MM), and is mainly observed in endurance athletes. At present, it remains …

Purpose: Sudden cardiac death [SCD] in competitive athletes is caused by a diverse set of
