Overview

Isometric stress testing should not yet alter athlete management; leaves open whether training type modifies diastolic responses.

Structured PICO

Does isometric stress affect left ventricular filling differently in athletes with isometric versus isotonic training compared to hypertensive and normal controls?

P
Population
38 males (mean age 30 +/- 7 years), comprising 13 long distance runners, 8 weight-lifters, 8 hypertensive patients, and 9 age-matched healthy controls
I
Intervention
Isometric stress testing (90 s of 50% maximal handgrip force)
C
Comparator
Resting state and comparison across the four groups
O
Outcome
Left ventricular Doppler filling parameters at rest and during isometric stresssurrogate

Isometric stress testing reveals a hypertensive-like left ventricular filling pattern in weight-lifters but not in long distance runners, suggesting different cardiac adaptations to isometric versus isotonic training.
