ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BIVENTRICULAR MECHANICAL PATTERN AND EXERCISE CAPACITY IN ATHLETES: MACHINE LEARNING BASED PREDICTION OF PEAK OXYGEN UPTAKE

Regular vigorous exercise induces significant adaptive changes in biventricular structure and function. We aimed to explore the relationship between resting left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) morphology and mechanics, and peak exercise capacity in a large cohort of athletes. We enrolled 396
