AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISThe  patient  has  an  extensive  history  of  exercise  training.There  may  be  profound  sinus  bradycardia,  sinus  arrhythmias,  or  atrioventricular  conduction  delays  at  rest  that  disappear  with  exertion.The  athlete’s  heart  may  demonstrate  four-chamber  enlargement  and  mild  left  ventricular  hypertrophy,  but  normal  diastolic  function  and  B-natriuretic  peptide  levels.  The  diastolic  wall-to-volume  ratio  should  be  <  0.15  mm/m2/mL  by  magnetic  resonance  imaging.Most  morphologic  changes  reverse  with  detraining.
