Abstract
The present study shows that highly trained athletes have normal GLS and strain rate parameters of the left ventricle, despite mild differences compared with untrained controls. These data may be implemented as reference values for the clinical assessment of the athletes and to support the diagnosis of physiologic cardiac adaptations in borderline cases.
