Analysis reveals left ventricular hypertrophy affects myocardial work in amateur marathon runners, indicating weekly running distance is a factor.

Myocardial work efficiency is reduced in amateur marathon runners with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Both non-LVH and LVH groups showed significant left atrial and left ventricle enlargement.
Spearman correlation analysis showed running distance is linked to myocardial work outcomes.
Findings highlight the need for monitoring heart health in athletes, especially with intense running.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
