THE MAIN DIRECTIONS OF MORPHOLOGICAL HEART CHANGES IN SPORTSMEN DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The review concerns the diagnostic criteria for and processes of cardiac sportsmen remodeling during systematic physical exertion. The results of various trials provided that show the development of “sportsman heart” in sportsmen as a result of morphological changes in cardiac stricture, related to genetic predisposition to the increase of the heart chambers, anatomic and functional characteristics of the heart according to the age and gender, that develop while making sports. The problems of sport cardiology are explored on border circulation conditions that lead to physiological hypertrophy either hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
