Overview

This review examines structural and functional cardiac adaptations in endurance athletes, highlighting implications for health monitoring.

Key Points

  • Endurance athletes can develop both beneficial and detrimental cardiac adaptations, impacting performance and health.
  • Echocardiography detects structural changes, such as hypertrophy and chamber dilation, related to prolonged exercise.
  • Early recognition of cardiac arrhythmias and elevated biomarkers like NT-proBNP is vital for athlete health.
  • Adaptive changes in the cardiovascular system may include altered gene expression and myocardial remodeling.
