Abstract
Athlete's heart represents morphological and functional changes of the cardiac muscle, triggered by repeated bouts of exercise. In this review, we summarize current facts about specific signs of athlete's heart as well as individual factors influencing this complex adaptation.
Due to overlap of morphological findings between pathology and exercise induced remodelation, knowledge about physiological limits of this process could be crutial in differentiating disease from benign state.
