Cardiac hypertrophy in athletes

      Several factors determine cardiac hypertrophy in competitive athletes, such as the type of muscle work [5], the intensity of training [6], the length of the training experience [7], and both sex and age [8]. For example, athletes subjected to the same training loads can have di erent discipline-specific levels of heart hypertrophy [7,9]. Di ...

      young competitive athletes [2,5–8,10,12] and that athletes with HCM (and other cardiac dis-eases) usually collapse during training or compe-tition [2], support the view that intense physical activity can represent a trigger for sudden death. Therefore, it follows that recommending dis-qualification of athletes with HCM from intense

      Left ventricular hypertrophy is defined as an increase in left ventricular mass. It can be physiological in athletes, as a result of cardiac adaptation to long-term training, or pathological in different conditions, such as chronic pressure overload (e.g. systemic hypertension, aortic stenosis), volume overload (e.g.

Strength-trained athletes display thickening of the LV wall with mild LV dilation, resulting in concentric hypertrophy.

Nevertheless, the morphologic patternof physiologic cardiac remodeling induced by athleticconditioning and its differentiationfrom primary patho-logic hypertrophy has become a particularly relevant clinical issue.32
