The benefits of exercise are irrefutable. Individuals engaging in regular exercise have a
favourable cardiovascular risk profile for coronary artery disease and reduce their risk of …

Exercise confers a plethora of health benefits that are well documented, whereas physical
inactivity is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The dose of …

Background : Accurate knowledge of causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in athletes and
its precipitating factors is necessary to establish preventative strategies. Objectives : This …

Annexin-1 is an anti-inflammatory protein that plays an important homeostatic role in innate
immunity; however, its potential actions in the modulation of adaptive immunity have never …

Background: Studies in middle-age and older (masters) athletes with atherosclerotic risk
factors for coronary artery disease report higher coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores …

Background : Anterior T-wave inversion (ATWI) on electrocardiography (ECG) in young white
adults raises the possibility of cardiomyopathy, specifically arrhythmogenic right ventricular …

Aims To determine how native myocardial T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) change with
age, both to understand aging and to inform on normal reference ranges. Methods and results …

Annexin‐1 is a well‐known endogenous anti‐inflammatory protein that modulates the
activation of cells of the innate immune system such as neutrophils and macrophages. We have …

Background : High false-positive rates and cost of additional investigations are an obstacle
to electrocardiographic (ECG) screening of young athletes for cardiac disease. However, …

Objective Distinguishing early dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) from physiological left ventricular
(LV) dilatation with LV ejection fraction <55% in athletes (grey zone) is challenging. We …
