Sedentary, active and athletic lifestyles: right and left ventricular long axis diastolic function.
The early relaxation velocity of the atrioventricular plane (long axis function) of the left ventricle is reported for sedentary, active and athletic men aged 30-45 years. At the left ventricular free wall this velocity is significantly greater for active men than it is for both sedentary and athletic men.
