Comparison of coronary vasodilator reserve in elite rowing athletes versus hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

The American Journal of Cardiology
J RadvanP G Camici

Abstract

Compared to normal volunteers, coronary vasodilation reserve is reduced in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy but not in rowing athletes with left ventricular hypertrophy. Positron emission tomography can provide complementary information to distinguish between the athlete's heart and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
