High-Intensity Prolonged Endurance Activity Correlation to Abnormal Cardiac Strain as Measured by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Ultramarathoners and Ironman athletes had evidence of regional differences in myocardial strain when compared with runners participating in shorter events, but no difference in global longitudinal strain. The clinical significance of this is not yet clear and additional studies are required.
