Supports physiological LV remodeling in elite rowers without functional impairment; hypothesis-generating for non-elite athletes and long-term outcomes.
Does vigorous training alter left ventricular structure and function in top level rowers?
Vigorous training in elite rowers induces physiological left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation without impairing overall systolic or diastolic function.
Cavallaro et al. (1993) studied this question.
