Riassunto

Athlete's Heart: A Multimodal Approach – From Physiological to Pathological Cardiac Adaptations provides a complete overview of all adaptations of the heart to sport practice by highlighting the different diagnosis between athlete’s heart and pathological remodeling. Written by international experts in the field, chapters discuss ECG findings, echocardiogram data, cardiac magnetic resonance and new forms of multimodality imaging, providing readers with evidence-based guidance on how to differentiate athlete's heart from cardiomyopathies.

Athlete's heart is the term given to a constellation of cardiac structural, functional and electrical remodeling that accompanies regular athletic training. Due to the substantial phenotypic overlap between electrical and structural changes observed in the physiological athletic heart remodeling and pathological changes resulted from inherited or acquired cardiomyopathies, distinguishing between adaptive and maladaptive cardiovascular response to exercise is a challenging task.

• Presents a comprehensive overview of exercise-induced cardiac adaptations
• Provides practical aspects for a differential diagnosis between a physiological and a pathological cardiac remodeling
• Includes new imaging technics, with a special focus on multi-modality imaging, such as exercise echocardiography, and new echocardiographic modalities (3D Strain)

His research interests include non-invasive diagnostic cardiology in the acute and chronic patients, left ventricular hypertrophy and athlete's heart. He is the author of numerous manuscripts, chapters and reviews addressing changes induced by different sport activities in the heart’s structure and cardiac response.

Prof. Bossone MD, PhD, FCCP, FESC, FACC graduated with honors in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Naples "Federico II". He is specialist in cardiology, respiratory diseases and PhD in cardiovascular sciences. He is a fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, American College of Chest Physician, American College of Cardiology and Adjunct Professor at the Cardiology Fellowship Program and International PhD Program in Cardiovascular Pathophysiology and Therapeutics, University of Naples.
