Introduction In cardiology, ventricular remodelling (or cardiac remodelling) refers to changes in the size, shape, structure, and function of the heart. This can happen as a result of exercise (physiological remodelling) or after injury to the heart muscle (pathological remodelling). The injury is typically due to acute myocardial infarction (usually transmural or ST segment elevation… Read More
Introduction Athletic heart syndrome (AHS) is a non-pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the human heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal. The athlete’s heart is associated with physiological cardiac remodelling as a consequence of repetitive cardiac loading. Athlete’s heart is common in athletes who routinely exercise… Read More
“Because the heart size of a healthy person is dependent on body weight, the ratio of heart volume (kg) to body weight was determined. The normal values for untrained males and females were 11.7 ± 0.19 and 9.7 ± 0.15, respectively. In contrast, elite athletes engaged in endurance sports reached values of 18 to 20 (114) [Reindell, Koenig… Read More
