My Approach to “Athlete's Heart”: Evaluation of the Different Types of Adaptation to Exercise

Frederico José Neves Mancuso

Abstract

Exercise-induced adaptation may occur in amateur and professional athletes. This condition is commonly named “athlete’s heart”. The alterations observed include dilation of the heart chambers, increased myocardial thickness, improved ventricular filling, increased left ventricular trabeculation, dilation of the inferior vena cava, among others. These changes can also be observed in some heart diseases, such as dilated, hypertrophic and other cardiomyopathies (CMP). Thus, cardiac imaging tests are fundamental in identifying these alterations and in differentiating between “athlete’s heart” and possible heart disease.
