Cardio bad??

[Drveejay11]

I have NEVER seen any evidence to support this phenomenon exclusively attributed to cardio...PERMANENTLY anyway.

The difference???

In the athlete's heart LVH may constitute a physiological adaptation to pressure overload, which normalizes following discontinuation of strenuous physical activity On the other hand, in particular in patients with hypertension, LVH denotes a serious prognosis in the course of hypertension. In these patients LVH should be regarded as a grave prognostic sign rather than an innocent compensatory phenomenon. There IS a distinction between physiologic and pathophysiologic LVH.

Actually studies show LVH with long distance runners, not anaerobic work. I have seen may EKG's that have showed what seems to be LVH in elite runners.

I dont know about you guys but I get mad pumps and a heavy heart beat while on. The gain in muscle size of heart is due to the growth of the body as a whole. I think that you could bend a lot of studies to make either case true(cardio or no cardio)
