In the study presented from Utomi et al (1), the Morganroth hypothesis concerning a different left ventricular (LV) adaptation between endurance and strength athletes has been tested. The authors demonstrated a normal LV geometry in male strength athletes and concluded that the hypothesis of a LV concentric hypertrophy should be revised. We would like to point out that we have questioned the disproportionate increase in...
