Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiac structure and functions have long been shown to adapt in response to a broad range of stimuli. Disease states, acute and chronic exercise training, drugs and supplements for health, and performance-enhancing and recreational drugs can all impact cardiac structure and function.
Similar structural and functional responses can be observed in response to these different stimuli. Therefore, appreciating the scale and type of adaptations that occur and how these responses translate into health and performance outcomes are important aspects for cardiac physiologists to understand.
Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the scale and breadth of structural and functional changes that can occur in response to a broad spectrum of stimuli and how they impact health and performance outcomes.
