Background Clinically relevant aortic dilatation (>40 mm) and increased cardiovascular risk are common among retired professional American‐style football athletes. Among younger athletes, the effect of American‐style football participation on aortic size is incompletely understood. We sought to determine changes in aortic root (AR) size and associated cardiovascular phenotypes across the collegiate career. Methods and Results This was a multicenter, longitudinal repeated‐measures observational cohort study of athletes across 3 years of elite collegiate American‐style football participation. A total of 247 athletes (119 [48%] Black, 126 [51%] White, 2 [1%] Latino; 91 [37%] linemen, 156 [63%] non‐linemen) were enrolled as freshmen and studied at pre‐ and postseason year 1, postseason year 2 (N=140 athletes), and postseason year 3 (N=82 athletes). AR size was measured with transthoracic echocardiography. AR diameter increased over the study period from 31.7 (95% CI, 31.4–32.0) to 33.5 mm (95% CI, 33.1–33.8; P |
