Right ventricular function in athletes engaged in endurance exercise using speckle tracking echocardiography: a meta-analysis by Chenzan Guo, Hebin Zhang, Cunxin Yang, Peipei Hu, Hui Ma, Ying Ma, Feng Gao

“…In addition, a random-effects meta-analysis revealed significant impairments in RV function when assessed by comparing RV GLS pre-endurance versus post endurance exercise WMD = 2.51, 95% CI (1.634 ~ 3.40), p < 0. 001. Conclusion The evidence obtained thus far suggests that reporting only global right ventricular strain data may obscure segment-specific adaptation changes, and the use of global and segmental strain analysis may help to identify potential functional changes in the right ventricle while differentiating between normal endurance athletes and non-active controls.…”
