Cardiac remodeling is typically associated with disease and can lead to heart failure. In
contrast, remodeling that occurs in the athlete's heart is considered an adaptive
physiological response. This review provides an overview of signaling mechanisms
responsible for inducing left ventricular hypertrophy in the athlete's heart and in settings of
pathological hypertrophy and heart failure.
