Nonsymmetric Myocardial Contribution to Supranormal Right Ventricular Function in the Athlete's Heart: Combined Assessment by Speckle Tracking and Real Time Three‐Dimensional Echocardiography

Abstract

Right ventricular preload exerts its maximal influence on the longitudinal lateral fibers, which is independent on potential confounders and largely induces RV supranormal function in the athlete's heart.
