Journal ArticleDOI
Athlete's heart: right and left ventricular mass and function in male endurance athletes and untrained individuals determined by magnetic resonance imaging.
Jürgen Scharhag,Günther Schneider,Axel Urhausen,Veneta Rochette,Bernhard Kramann,Wilfried Kindermann +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and hypothesized that athlete's heart is characterized by similar LV and RV hypertrophy, which leads to the conclusion that the athlete’s heart is a balanced enlarged heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Exercise Prevents Cellular Senescence in Circulating Leukocytes and in the Vessel Wall
Christian Werner,Tobias Furster,Thomas Widmann,Janine Pöss,Cristiana Roggia,Milad Hanhoun,Jürgen Scharhag,Nicole Büchner,Tim Meyer,Wilfried Kindermann,Judith Haendeler,Michael Böhm,Ulrich Laufs +12 more
TL;DR: Physical activity regulates telomere-stabilizing proteins in mice and in humans and thereby protects from stress-induced vascular apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Running exercise of different duration and intensity: effect on endothelial progenitor cells in healthy subjects
Ulrich Laufs,Axel Urhausen,Axel Urhausen,Nikos Werner,Jürgen Scharhag,Anja Heitz,Gerrit Kissner,Michael Böhm,Wilfried Kindermann,Georg Nickenig +9 more
TL;DR: The data support the notion that increased numbers of EPC correlate with cardiovascular health and suggest EPC quantification as a novel surrogate parameter of the vascular effects of exercising, which may represent an important beneficial outcome of physical exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Independent elevations of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac troponins in endurance athletes after prolonged strenuous exercise.
Jürgen Scharhag,Markus Herrmann,Axel Urhausen,Michaela Haschke,Wolfgang Herrmann,Wilfried Kindermann +5 more
TL;DR: Examination of exercise-induced changes in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and relations to cardiac troponin I and T in 105 obviously healthy endurance athletes found increases in NT-proBNP can be found in a major part of obviously healthy athletes after prolonged strenuous exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise-associated increases in cardiac biomarkers.
TL;DR: An overview of exercise-associated alterations of the cardiac biomarkers troponin T and I, ischemia-modified albumin, BNP, and its cleaved inactive fragment N-terminal pro BNP for the athlete, coach, scientist, and clinician is provided.
