Why the study?
Is physiologic left ventricular hypertrophy resulting from endurance training associated with increased QT dispersion, and is this affected by ACE I/D polymorphism?
Population
56 endurance athletes and 46 sedentary subjects (n=102)
Comparison
Endurance physical training (athletes) vs Sedentary lifestyle (control subjects)
Design
Cross-sectional

May signal arrhythmia risk in endurance athletes; leaves open ACE DD modulation pending prospective confirmation.
Is physiologic left ventricular hypertrophy resulting from endurance training associated with increased QT dispersion, and is this affected by ACE I/D polymorphism?
Physiologic left ventricular hypertrophy induced by endurance training is associated with increased QT dispersion, an effect that appears to be modulated by ACE I/D polymorphism.
