Abstract: Extreme endurance athletic challenges provide unique opportunities to study the cardiovascular system's capacity for structural, functional, and hemodynamic adaptation. The authors present a case of a male subject who ran 2,469 km, with serial multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance imaging used to demonstrate adaptive and maladaptive alterations in cardiac remodeling and myocardial tissue health. ( Level of Difficulty: Advanced. ).<br />Competing Interests: The work was funded in part by an unrestricted research grant from the Calgary Health Foundation (to Dr White). The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2022 The Authors.)
