Physiological hypertrophy may impair cardiopulmonary reflexes in athletes; extends observations from pathological states but leaves clinical relevance open.
Does physiological cardiac hypertrophy in athletes alter cardiopulmonary receptor reflexes compared to sedentary healthy subjects?
Physiological cardiac hypertrophy in athletes is associated with impaired cardiopulmonary receptor control of the circulation, similar to pathological hypertrophy.
Giannattasio et al. (1990) studied this question.
