Normative values for sport-specific left ventricular dimensions and exercise-induced cardiac remodeling in elite Spanish male and female athletes

(Normative Werte für sportartspezifische linksventrikuläre Dimensionen und belastungsinduzierte kardiale Remodellierung bei spanischen männlichen und weiblichen Spitzensportlern)

Key Points - The present study, which includes data from 3282 elite white athletes (mean age 23 ± 6 years, 37.8% women) of 46 different sports, suggests that the great majority (85.4%) of these athletes have normal LV geometry. - Although some present with LV eccentric hypertrophy (13.4%), cardiac remodeling and concentric hypertrophy seem very uncommon (each < 0.8% of total). - Sport-specific normative values of LV dimensions in elite white adult athletes are presented along with an online and app-based calculator, which can serve to easily identify those athletes for whom a detailed examination might be recommendable.
