Excerpt
Previous echocardiographic studies have reported left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction following ultra-endurance exercise in trained individuals. In addition to the duration and intensity of exercise, environmental factors have been implicated in the aetiology of cardiac dysfuntion. The purpose of the present study was to examine the impact of prolonged exercise in a normobaric hypoxic environment upon cardiac function.
