Popis: Background Athletes demonstrate major adaptative changes in their hearts with high level of exercise. However the long term consequences of endurance training were not completely understood. We aimed to to explore the effect of long term endurance exercise on cardiac morphology and function, and diffuse fibrosis, and assess the significance of any discovered changes (correlation with documented ventricular arrhythmias).
