Why the study?
Does prolonged endurance exercise reduce right ventricular function in healthy adults?
Does prolonged endurance exercise reduce right ventricular function in healthy adults?
Intense prolonged endurance exercise is associated with a measurable acute reduction in right ventricular function, while left ventricular function remains relatively unaffected.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Acute RV impairment after prolonged endurance exercise warrants monitoring in athletes; confirms differential RV effects and leaves open long-term sequelae.
