Why the study?
Does lifelong endurance exercise alter cardiac structure and function in veteran athletes?
Does lifelong endurance exercise alter cardiac structure and function in veteran athletes?
High-intensity lifelong endurance exercise in veteran athletes is associated with altered cardiac structure and function, including left ventricular hypertrophy and increased ventricular arrhythmias, which may occasionally be deleterious.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May signal remodeling and arrhythmias in veteran athletes; leaves open clinical risk and need for larger prospective studies.
Hood et al. (1999) studied this question.
