Abstract: Background: Long-term endurance sport practice leads to eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). We aimed to compare the new 4-tiered classification (4TC) for LVH with the established 2-tiered classification (2TC) in a cohort of normotensive non-elite endurance athletes. Methods: Male participants of a 10-mile race were recruited and included when blood pressure (BP) was normal (
