Discussion

Echocardiographic case control study shows cardiac remodelling in elite athletes, suggesting distinct physiological adaptations in Asian populations.

Elite endurance athletes exhibited significant cardiac remodelling with larger left ventricular dimensions compared to controls.
Echocardiographic analysis revealed increased wall thickness and mass in elite athletes, indicating adaptations beyond normal physiology.
The study involved 163 participants, including 55 elite athletes and various control groups for comparison purposes.
Establishing reference ranges will assist in identifying normal cardiac variations and distinguishing from potential pathologies in Asian athletes.

LEE et al. (2025) studied this question.
