Figure 3. Peak left ventricular (LV) rotation and twist at rest and during cycling exercise.

Figure 3

While exercise significantly increased LV mechanics to the same extent in both groups (P < 0.0001), LV apical rotation was significantly lower in the high aerobic fitness group at rest and during submaximal exercise (P = 0.04), resulting in a trend towards a decline in LV twist (P = 0.09). Note that the y-axis for LV basal rotation data has been inversed to reflect the increase in basal rotation during exercise.
