Myocardial adaptation in different endurance sports: an echocardiographic study

Abstract: There is a sport-specific left ventricular adaptation in endurance athletes. The triathlon heart and the heart of a cyclist differ significantly from a marathon heart.

“…27 In contrast, the findings of similar remodeling indices of subjects in our intervention group pre-and post-training are indicative of cardiac adaptation without preponderance of 1 specific remodeling mechanism. The discrepancy between results found in our study and previous investigations 15,28 might predominantly be explained by different effects of type, intensity, and duration of training, as our study population consisted of previously untrained subjects with relatively more potential for cardiac remodeling than active sportsmen.Furthermore, our data suggest that in HI(I)T ventricular remodeling is accompanied by LA dilation. However, the percentage of individuals with LA enlargement in our study (13%) was lower than that observed in long-term elite athletes (≤62%). )…”

“…While our and previous studies agree on normal systolic function (15,17), previous studies have been conflicting with regard to diastolic function in athletes. Doppler-echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging studies have shown either normal (12,17,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) or augmented diastolic function (36 -39). A disadvantage of some of the previous studies is the lack of age-and sex-matched groups of sedentary controls (31,36,38).…”

“…Mūsų duomenys patvirtina daugumos tyrėjų nuomonę, kad irkluotojams būdingas koncentrinis kairiojo skilvelio geometrijos persitvarkymas dėl padidėju-sio kairiojo skilvelio sienelių storio ir saikingai padidėjusio ar nepakitusio KS galinio diastolinio dydžio (2,3,10,11,17). Kitų autorių nuomone, reikš mingo skirtumo tarp irkluotojų ir kitų sporto šakų atstovų kairiojo skilvelio persimodeliavimo nėra (11). Tai rodo, kad vaikų ir paauglių, kaip ir suaugusių sportininkų, KS echokardiografinių rodiklių pokyčių negalima paaiškinti vien tik irklavimo sporto ša-kos specifiškumu.…”
