Cardiovascular Imaging In Assessment Of Athletes

José Roberto Matos-Souza et al. Daniela do Carmo Rassi

Physical training is linked to a series of cardiac, morphological, and functional adaptations known as “athlete’s heart”.^, An athlete can be considered a youth or adult amateur or professional who exercises regularly and participates in official sports competitions. The changes demonstrated depend on the duration, intensity, and type of training (isotonic versus isometric).

In recent years, a large number of studies have been published, which have improved our ability to understand the characteristics of physiological cardiac remodeling in athletes. Nevertheless, there are gaps regarding the differential diagnosis of athlete’s heart, especially when it presents with a more intense expression. It can be difficult to differentiate this condition from inherited heart diseases such as hypertrophic, dilated, or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular non-compaction.^,

The Nature of Cardiac Remodeling Due to Physical Exercise: More Evidence Towards to the Normal Adaptive Responses of the Heart

Lucas Helal et al. Anderson Donelli da Silveira

Cardiac remodeling due to exercise training overload (the so-called “athlete’s heart”) has been widely investigated since the 70’s and is still acknowledged by the scientific community. To differentiate normal adaptive responses (“benign”) from abnormal ones remains a challenge. Here we address some important issues related to the discussion on cardiac remodeling in exercise, recently revisited by Vidaletti-Silva and colleagues in this issue.

In terms of morphological adaptations, the left atrial and ventricular hypertrophy call attention due to their potential association with the onset of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and also of ventricular arrhythmias, which may result in undesirable events.
