Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of extreme fitness in women The incidence of coronary artery disease observed via multislice computed tomography MSCT angiogram will be compared with age and risk-matched controls from both sedentary and fitness activity groups who have never been significant runners Life style training volume and risk factors will be assessed
Detailed Description: Single-center non-randomized prospective observational study The study population will be up to 100 female athletes who are competitive long distance runners and have been so for a minimum of 10 years Multi-slice computed tomography MSCT will be used to characterize the amount severity and type of atherosclerotic lesions MSCTA will be performed per usual practice using a minimum X-ray dose protocol

The study will determine whether moderate to high intensity long term athletic training and competition is associated with enhanced coronary artery disease in women Each participant will complete a life-style training volume and risk factor questionnaire These participants will be compared to an age gender and risk factor matched cohort
