Does athletic training increase the prevalence of ECG changes and LV structural remodelling in paediatric athletes compared to non-athletes?
Paediatric athletes exhibit significant cardiac electrical and structural remodeling compared to non-athletes, which is mediated by age, race, and sex.
The paediatric athlete's heart undergoes significant remodelling both before and during 'maturational years'. Paediatric athletes have a greater prevalence of training related and training-unrelated ECG changes than non-athletes, with age, race and sex mediating factors on cardiac electrical and LV structural remodelling.
