    Cardiovascular Adaptation in Athletes
    (Elsevier, 2016-01) Kovacs, Richard; Baggish, Aaron L.; Department of Medicine, IU School of Medicine
    Millions of athletes train for and participate in competitive athletics each year. Many of these athletes will present to a cardiovascular specialist with signs or symptoms that might indicate heart disease and these athletes/patients will ask for advice on their ability to continue to train and compete safely. By virtue of their training, athletes׳ hearts may undergo significant structural and electrical change, presenting a special challenge for the cardiovascular specialist. It is important to understand normal adaptive changes in order to separate normal physiology from pathology.
