Pulsed Doppler tissue imaging in endurance athletes: relation between left ventricular preload and myocardial regional diastolic function

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of endurance training on myocardial regional systolic and diastolic function by pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI). Twenty male water polo players and 20 male control subjects underwent standard Doppler echocardiography and pulsed DTI, performed in ap...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to assess the effects of endurance training on myocardial regional systolic and diastolic function by pulsed Doppler tissue imaging (DTI). Twenty male water polo players and 20 male control subjects underwent standard Doppler echocardiography and pulsed DTI, performed in apical views by placing a sample volume on left ventricular (LV) basal septal and inferior walls. Age, body surface area, and blood pressure were comparable between the 2 groups, with lower heart rate in athletes (p
