The term 'athlete's heart'refers to a clinical picture characterized by a slow heart rate and
enlargement of the heart. A multi-modality imaging approach to the athlete's heart aims to …

Aerobic exercise training leads to cardiovascular changes that markedly increase aerobic
power and lead to improved endurance performance. The functionally most important …

“The physiologic capabilities of the heart are enormous, and in judging the effect of any
undue exertion on it, we must not regard the murmurs of the irregularity alone, but must also …

Early investigations in the late 1890s and early 1900s documented cardiac enlargement in
athletes with above-normal exercise capacity and no evidence of cardiovascular disease …

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 …

Background The role of physical exercise in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular
diseases has been well described, however, elevations in cardionecrotic biomarkers after …

To generate real‐time, nongated, free‐breathing cardiac images, the undersampled radial
trajectory combined with parallel imaging in the form of radial GRAPPA has shown promise …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a widely used non-invasive imaging
modality for evaluating cardiovascular diseases. CMR is the gold standard method for left …
