The Acute Cardiovascular Effects of Marathon Running Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

NCT00752752 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

Last updated 2012-04-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Using blood testing and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the investigators aim to determine if there are necrotic areas of myocardium in participants who complete a marathon. In addition, the investigators aim to describe the acute and chronic structural abnormalities that occur as a result of endurance training. The study hypothesis is that myocardial necrosis is present in runners completing a marathon competition.
