Shear wave elastography to unmask differences in myocardial stiffness between athletes and sedentary non-athletes
SW elastography reveals reduced myocardial stiffness in athletes compared to sedentary non-athletes at rest and during exercise, which is not detected by conventional echocardiographic measurements. Exercise-induced changes in SW velocities after AVC may potentially serve as an early marker for detecting diastolic dysfunction.
