Athlete’s Heart: Diagnostic Challenges and Future Perspectives
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Sports Medicine"
DOI: 10.1007/s40279-018-0985-2
Abstract: Distinguishing between adaptive and maladaptive cardiovascular response to exercise is crucial to prevent the unnecessary termination of an athlete’s career and to minimize the risk of sudden death. This is a challenging task essentially due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17461391.2021.2001576
Abstract: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common cause of sudden cardiac death in athletes. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is considered an excellent tool to differentiate between HCM and athlete's heart. The aim of this systematic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.3127
Abstract: The main role of the giant elastic protein titin is to provide passive stiffness to striated (i.e. cardiac and skeletal) muscles. The adult cardiac muscle contains two titin isoforms: the more compliant N2BA and the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/echo.15066
Abstract: Cardiac response to prolonged, intense exercise induces phenotypic and physiologic adaptive changes that improve myocardial ability to meet oxygen demands. These adaptations, termed “athletes’ heart,” have been extensively studied. The importance of this entity arises… read more here.
