Novel insights into the athlete’s heart: is myocardial work the new champion of systolic function?
Abstract
We sought to investigate the correlation between speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE)-derived myocardial work (MW) and invasively measured contractility in a rat model of athlete's heart. We also assessed MW in elite athletes and explored its association with cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET)-derived aerobic capacity.Sixteen rats underwent a 12-week swim training program and were compared to controls (n = 16). STE was performed to assess...
