Cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking in Olympic athletes: a myocardial deformation analysis
Our results provided for the first time CMR-FT strain values in a large cohort of Olympic athletes free of cardiovascular abnormalities, according to type of sports. Endurance athletes showed the lowest LV-GLS values being significantly different versus skill and sedentary controls. No other significant differences in myocardial deformation parameters between sports categories were found, but only based on sex.
