IVS interventricular septum; PW posterior wall; LVEDd Left Ventricle End Diastolic diameter; LVESd Left Ventricle End Systolic diameter; CMI Cardiac Mass Index; LA :Left Atrium; IVRT Iso Volumetric Relaxation Time; DT Deceleration Time; E/A E-wave A-wave peak velocity ratio; EF Ejection Fraction; HR Heart Rate ; SP Systolic Pressure; DP Diastolic Pressure. The table shows the values of the main echocardiographic systolic and diastolic parameters at rest and after HG in athletes and controls. No statistical differences are evident. | ||||||
