Left ventricular apical mechanics during ectopy in an asymptomatic athlete
Statistics from Altmetric.com
The frequent occurrence of ventricular ectopics in athletes is thought to be a part of the physiological adaptation process as a consequence of regular exercise training.1 However, the acute impact of a premature ventricular contraction (PVC) on the mechanical sequence of the myocardium has never been shown. Here, we present data of left ventricular …
