Role of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in troponinemia syndromes

Figure 5 Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of athlete’s heart syndrome. A: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging of an endurance athlete. Increased right and left ventricular volumes. Overall muscle mass may be increased although wall thickness remains within standard reference range[102]; B: A 51-year-old athlete training 7 h/wk in the last 30 years. The short-axis view shows subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the inferior apical wall; C: A 55-year-old athlete training 8 h/wk in the last 30 years. Mild intramyocardial LGE is the lateral wall is shown in the four-chamber view; D: A 55-year-old athlete training 10 h/wk in the last 28 years. Mesocardial LGE in the apical-septal wall shown in three-chamber view image. Reproduced from Pujadas et al[122] and licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
