Transient LV dysfunction after prolonged exercise appears age-independent to middle age; leaves open effects in older adults and clinical relevance.
Does advancing age influence left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction following prolonged exercise?
Prolonged exercise induces transient left ventricular dysfunction, and advancing age up to middle age does not exacerbate the magnitude of this physiological response.
Banks et al. (2011) studied this question.
