Cardiac fatigue following prolonged endurance exercise of differing distances

Article Abstract:

This study used echocardiography to examine the presence of cardiac dysfunction in trained athletes following an Ironman triathlon. Findings indicate that prolonged endurance exercise results in cardiac fatigue and reversible abnormalities in left ventricular function.

Left ventricular function immediately following prolonged exercise: A meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

A study reports the results of a meta-analysis examining the effect of prolonged endurance exercise on left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, in addition to indices of cardiac loading. Results demonstrate an overall reduction in the ejection fraction (EF) immediately following prolonged endurance exercise, suggesting a potential transient decrease in systolic function.

Exercise gas exchange responses in the differentiation of pathologic and physiologic left ventricular hypertrophy

Article Abstract:

An investigation to examine possible differences in the maximal and submaximal exercise gas exchange parameters and their use in differentiating patholigical and physiological left ventricular hypertrophy is discussed. The investigation supports their use as an additional noninvasive tool in the differential diagnosis of these ventricular hypertrophies.
