LV SWA measured with cardiac MR elastography provides image contrast sensitive to myocardial relaxation abnormalities and shows significantly lower values in patients with diastolic dysfunction.
Plasma galectin-3 is substantially elevated in endurance athletes after running but does not correlate with cardiac function, other biomarkers, or myocardial fibrosis. In mice, we demonstrate that galectin-3 increase during endurance exercise originates primarily from skeletal muscle.
2D strain analysis of the left and right ventricles showed an acute improvement of the systolic function after marathon running in pre- and postmenopausal well-trained women. There were no long lasting detrimental effects on the diastolic function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
