Left ventricular hypertrophy in athletes [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2009
Participation in regular intensive exercise is associated with a modest increase in left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) and cavity size. The magnitude of these physiological changes is predominantly determined by a variety of demographic factors which include age, gender, size, ethnicity, and sporting discipline.

Association of obesity phenotypes with left ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy in children and adolescents

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
It has been argued that metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether, in a population of obese children/adolescents, the metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO ...

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can occur as a result of increase in the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness or increase in the LV cavity size, thus leading to increase in the LV mass. Strength training and aerobic exercise lead to physiological LVH,

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ultra-endurance running - two incompatible entities? [PDF]

, 2011
Regular and prolonged exercise is associated with increased left ventricular wall thickness that can overlap with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Differentiating physiological from pathological hypertrophy has important implications, since HCM is the ...
