Data-driven clustering supports adaptive remodeling of athlete's hearts: An echocardiographic study from the Taipei Summer Universiade by Kuan-Chih Huang, Chang-En Lin, Lian-Yu Lin, Juey-Jen Hwang, Lung-Chun Lin

“…Methods: Anthropometric, echocardiographic and electrocardiographic assessments were collected during the 2017 Summer Universiade in Taiwan. Besides standard echocardiography and strain measurements, ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) was assessed by the ratio of effective arterial elastance (Ea) to left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) as calculated by a modified single-beat algorithm. …”
