On the Dependence of the Left Ventricle’s False Chords Frequency on the Level of Physical Activity

The aim of study is to estimate the frequency the false chords of the left ventricle (FHLV) in individuals of different age and physical activity level. Material and methods. Transthoracic echocardiographic examination of the heart according to the generally accepted technique on the apparatus Hawk 2102 was performed on 136 persons: 36 - of junior age, 31 adults and 69 athletes. Results. In adult persons FHLV were not found. In the group of adolescence, they were detected quite often, in 27.8% In their peers, regularly engaged in sports, the detection rate was even higher - 34.8%. 41.7% of athletes with FHLV had a high level of sports qualification, which excludes the presence of their cardiovascular pathology and calls into question the anomalous nature of the revealed structures. Conclusions. The authors conclude that the frequency of FHLV detection depends on the level of physical activity and their possible adaptive character in persons with regular physical activity of high intensity.
