Objective: To assess the effect of chronic deconditioning on cardiac dimensions and function in subjects with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI), who represent a human in-vivo model of extreme inactivity.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: University medical center.Participants: Seven men with tetraplegia and 7 able-bodied controls.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Echocardiographic measurements of resting cardiac dimensions, systolic function, and global and long-axis diastolic function.Results: Left ventricular mass index was significantly lower in the subjects with SCI than in the controls (90.8 +/- 26g/m(2) vs 122 +/- 28.9g/m(2); P=.05). In addition, dimensions of left ventricle, left atrium, and vena cava inferior were all significantly reduced in the subjects with SCI compared with 'controls (P
