Differences in left ventricular global function and mechanics in Paralympic athletes with cervical and thoracic spinal cord injuries
Following a spinal cord injury, there are changes in resting stroke volume (SV) and its response to exercise. The purpose of the following study was to characterize resting left ventricular structure, function and mechanics in Paralympic athletes with tetraplegia (TETRA) and paraplegia (PARA) in an...
