Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Differentiating physiological exercise-induced cardiac remodelling (EICR) from pathology is challenging, especially in female athletes, where studies using state-of-the-art imaging techniques are lacking. We aimed to investigate extreme phenotypes of EICR in female elite athletes using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Cross-sectional, multicentre study in female elite athletes using...
