MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If a person participates in an endurance exercise like marathon for a long time, the eccentric left ventricle hypertrophy, in which the thickness of ventricle is not large whereas the left ventricular wall is a relatively increased, will be produced (Vinereanu et al., 2002).

Detailed explanation-2: -During exercise, your heart typically beats faster so that more blood gets out to your body. Your heart can also increase its stroke volume by pumping more forcefully or increasing the amount of blood that fills the left ventricle before it pumps.

Detailed explanation-3: -Beside pharmacological treatment, nonpharmacological treatment such as regular physical activity has shown to reduce LVH in patients with hypertension. Regular physical activity is generally associated with lower mortality and cardiovascular events in persons with normal BP as well as in persons with hypertension.
