Differentiating Athlete's Heart from Left Ventricle Cardiomyopathies
J Cardiovasc Transl Res.
2020 Jun.
Abstract
Imaging techniques have allowed knowing the structural adaptative changes observed in the hearts of highly trained athletes. Athletes can develop very marked structural changes and the need may rise for a differential diagnosis with real cardiomyopathy. In this chapter, authors review the physiologic and morphologic features associated with athletic training and the keys to differentiate normal adaptive athlete's heart from mild or initial expression forms of left-heart side cardiomyopathies such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and left ventricle non-compaction (LVNC).
Keywords: Athletes; Echocardiography; Sports cardiology.
