Physiologic and clinical features of the Paralympic athlete’s heart

JAMA Sep 29, 2020

Pelliccia A, Quattrini FM, Cavarretta E, et al. - Researchers sought to report on the physiologic and clinical features of the Paralympic athlete's heart and to inscribe their normative values. This is a single-center study performed including 252 consecutive Paralympic athletes who underwent cardiac evaluation. They identified differences in cardiac remodeling in Paralympic athletes by disability and sport discipline. The largest left ventricular cavity and left ventricular mass and highest VO2 peak were reported in correlation with having non-spinal cord injury (nSCI) lesions and engaging in endurance sports. On the contrary, having SCI lesions and engaging in nonendurance disciplines were correlated with the smallest left ventricular cavity and mass and lowest VO2 peak.
