May guide targeted RV-LV echocardiographic evaluation in athletes; leaves open causal effects of endurance training.
Does elite endurance training cause different morphological and functional adaptations in the right versus left ventricle in male athletes compared to non-athletes?
In male endurance athletes, morphological adaptation to training is more pronounced in the right ventricle, while functional adaptation is more evident in the left ventricle.
