Abstract:

Sports cardiology is a burning field to monitor and diagnose different conditions of hearts of athletes in relation to sports and training. A comprehensive attempt has been made to compare the echocardiographic adaptations between left and right ventricles in athletes engaged in various sports. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to differentiate physiological remodeling from underlying pathological conditions that can predispose to sudden cardiac death by comprising the adaptation between the right and left ventricles. The research reports were collected from various databases for synthesis and inference purposes. It integrates findings from multiple studies to provide an in-depth understanding of physiological remodeling in endurance, strength/power, and mixed sports. Adaptation of both the ventricles is seen in different sports the specific nature of these adaptations varies, with endurance training typically inducing eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy and right ventricular dilation, and strength training primarily leading to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy.
