Figure 4 End-diastolic volume, end-diastolic volume index (end-diastolic volume divided by body surface area) and ratio of left ventricular (LV) to right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic volume (EDV) (ratio LV-EDV/RV-EDV) in endurance athletes (A) and untrained control subjects (C). Data are expressed as the mean value ± SD. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. ***p < 0.001 (paired t test).
