Bradycardia, increased cardiac dimensions, enhanced ventricular filling, augmentation of stroke volume and high peak oxygen consumption are recognised features of the athlete\u2019s heart. The type and magnitude of these adaptations to physical exercise are governed by age, sex, ethnicity, sporting discipline and intensity of sport. Some athletes, particularly those of African or Afro-Caribbean (black) origin reveal changes that overlap with diseases implicated in sudden cardiac death. In such instances, erroneous interpretation has potentially serious consequences ranging from unfair disqualification to false reassurance. This article focuses on ethnic variation in the physiological cardiac adaption to exercise.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.15420\/ecr.2020.01","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,24]],"date-time":"2020-08-24T07:53:33Z","timestamp":1598255613000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["The Impact of Ethnicity on Cardiac Adaptation"],"prefix":"10.15420","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Uchenna","family":"Ozo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"St George\u2019s University Hospital, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sanjay","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St George\u2019s University Hospital, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"6096","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Harmon KG, Drezner JA, Wilson MG, Sharma S.
