Why the study?
What is the prevalence, pattern, and prognostic relevance of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement in ostensibly healthy marathon runners?
What is the prevalence, pattern, and prognostic relevance of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement in ostensibly healthy marathon runners?
Ostensibly healthy marathon runners have an unexpectedly high rate of myocardial LGE, which may have diagnostic and prognostic relevance.
May signal subclinical injury in endurance athletes; leaves open prognostic relevance pending longitudinal studies.
