Leserbrief zum Beitrag: Christoph Sinning, Dorit Knappe, Jan-Malte Sinning, Andreas Hagendorff. Differenzialdiagnose der Linksherzhypertrophie. Aktuel Kardiol 2020; 9: 43 – 49

Mit Interesse habe ich den Beitrag von Sinning et al. [1] über die Differenzialdiagnose der linksventrikulären Hypertrophie gelesen, in dem naturgemäß auch auf die physiologische kardiale Adaptation bei Sportlern eingegangen wird. So wird u. a. wiederholt eine typischerweise konzentrische Hypertrophie von Kraftsportlern betont.
