The Role of Multimodality Imaging in Athlete’s Heart Diagnosis: Current Status and Future Directions

“Athlete’s heart” is a spectrum of morphological and functional changes which occur in the heart of people who practice physical activity. When athlete’s heart occurs with its most marked expression, it may overlap with a differential diagnosis with certain structural cardiac diseases, including car...
