20 Dynamic exercise requires volume work, producing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and chamber dilatation (eccentric LVH), whereas isometric exercise involves pressure work, producing increased wall thickness without chamber dilatation (concentric LVH)

25 CARDIAC STRACTURAL ADAPTATIONS IN ATHLETES Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was increased by 10% compared with controls, which represents a 33% increase in volume. Septal thickness and posterior wall thickness increased by 15% and 20%. Right ventricular diastolic diameter increased by 25%. Left ventricular mass increased by 45% Deligiannis et al,science and Health,42,2002

33 The dilemma remains

34 10 REASONS WHY AN ATHLETE S HEART IS USUALLY NOT DANGEROUS

35 1. ATHLETE S WITH LARGE HEARTS TEND TO HAVE EXCELLENT CARDIAC FUNCTION

36 ATHLETIC CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY NORMAL SYSTOLIC CONTRACTILITY NO FIBROSIS NORMAL (OR INCREASED?) SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM FUNCTION ABNORMAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES NORMAL (OR IMPROVED?) DIASTOLIC FUNCTION Deligiannis A.,Sports Med,62,2008

37 Cardiac Functional Adaptations in Athletes Left ventricular systolic function appears to be normal in athletes, both when measured at rest and during exercise R. Fagard, Heart 2003

41 Hoogsteen J et al. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging 2004 ; 20(1):19-26.

42 Left ventricular diastolic function is on average normal at rest, but is enhanced during exercise which favours adequate filling of the ventricle at high heart rates. JF Lewis, at al. Br Heart J 1992
