Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of sex and different sports on right
ventricular (RV) remodeling and compare the derived upper limits with widely used revised …

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 …

Aims Conflicting evidence exists concerning right ventricular (RV) morphological and
functional remodelling in trained athletes, with a very few longitudinal data prospectively …

Background—Regular, intensive exercise results in physiological biventricular cardiac
adaptation. Ethnicity is an established determinant of left ventricular remodeling; black …

Aims Little is known about the adaptation of the right ventricle (RV) to endurance exercise in
children. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 5 months of intensive training on …

Aims Intense exercise places disproportionate strain on the right ventricle (RV) which may
promote pro-arrhythmic remodelling in some athletes. RV exercise imaging may enable …

Aims Pre-participation cardiovascular screening of young athletes may prevent sports-
related sudden cardiac deaths. Recognition of physiological electrocardiography (ECG) …

BACKGROUND: The aims of this study were to establish absolute ranges for right ventricular
(RV) structural and functional parameters for endurance athletes and to establish any impact …

Aims Spontaneous or inducible sustained ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in endurance
athletes frequently originate from the right ventricle (RV), even in the absence of familial …

OBJECTIVES: To explore the full range of right heart dimensions and the impact of long-term
intensive training in athletes. BACKGROUND: Although echocardiography has been widely …
