Does echocardiography accurately reflect CMR-determined changes in left ventricular parameters following exercise training? A prospective longitudinal study

Cardiac adaptation in response to exercise has historically been described using echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), however, has evolved as a preferred imaging methodology for cardiac morphological assessment. While direct imaging modality comparisons in athletes suggest that large...
