Cardiac arrest during road races exceedingly rareLast November, two apparently healthy young men - one 40 years old, the other just 21 - collapsed during the running of the Philadelphia marathon and were later pronounced dead, apparently of heart-related causes. The news was shocking but familiar: In the previous two months alone, a 35-year-old firefighter had collapsed with a stopped heart as he neared the finish line of the Chicago Marathon, and a 32-year-old had suffered a fatal heart attack in the homestretch of a half-marathon in Montreal. Health.com: Why cardiac arrest is deadlier than heart attack Researchers combed through news databases for mentions of cardiac arrest - not to be confused with heart attacks - during marathons and half-marathons, then verified those accounts with the survivors (or next of kin), using medical records and autopsy data when available. They found just 59 cases of cardiac arrest, 42 of them fatal, between 2000 and 2010 - a decade in which 11 million runners took part in nearly 11,000 marathons and half-marathons in the United States. That translates into one cardiac arrest per 184,000 runners and one sudden death per 259,000 runners per year. To put those odds in perspective, roughly one in every 6,200 licensed drivers in the United States dies in a traffic accident each year. "Marathons and half-marathons are generally safe, well-tolerated activities," says lead author Aaron Baggish, M.D., an assistant professor of cardiology at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, both in Boston. Health.com: Yes, you can run a 10K! The grueling races may be safer than everyday running, in fact. As the study notes, the rate of sudden death among regular joggers has been estimated at one in 7,620 per year. What's more, the 29% survival rate seen in the study is dramatically better than the 8% figure usually cited for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, probably because the many spectators on hand at road races can start CPR right away - "one of the most important determinants of whether people live or die," Baggish says. Despite the small number of incidents, Baggish and his colleagues were able to discern some broad patterns in the data. Cardiac-arrest rates were higher among men than women, for instance, and higher in marathons than in half-marathons. Health.com: The worst habits for your heart And the causes of cardiac arrest seemed to vary with age. Among younger runners, a genetic thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) was typically to blame, while among older runners the most common culprit was a type of heart disease characterized by stable artery blockages that can be present, unnoticed, for long periods of time. "That means something was there for months to years," Baggish says. "People can live with [a blockage] until they have that bad day [when] they just don't get enough blood." These blockages can be detected with tests, Baggish says. He urges aspiring distance runners to discuss heart disease risk factors (such as high blood pressure and cholesterol) with their doctors, and to undergo an exercise stress test if needed. Health.com: 10 heart-healthy rules to live by Cardiac arrest is different - and far more deadly - than a heart attack. In cardiac arrest the heart stops beating, interrupting the flow of blood, whereas during heart attacks a ruptured artery plaque causes a blood clot that reduces blood flow to the heart. Heart attacks can also be a problem among long-distance runners, as a letter to the editor in the same issue of the journal makes clear. The letter details the cases of three middle-aged men with no diagnosed heart disease who suffered ruptured plaques and coronary blood clots soon after crossing the finish line of the 2011 Boston Marathon. Exercise may increase the risk of plaque rupture and blood clots, the authors note. It can also benefit your heart, of course. "The truth is - and this is incontrovertible - is that running and regular physical exercise keeps you healthy and lowers the risk of heart disease," Baggish says. "But it's not perfectly protective." Copyright Health Magazine 2011 |

After I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the same comment. Is there a means you are able to remove me from that service? Appreciate it!
There is definately a lot to find out about this topic. I like all of the points you've made.
Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it doesn't fail me as much as this one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I truly thought you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something that you can fix if you weren't too busy looking for attention.
I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thank you for allowing me to comment!
Hey there! I simply wish to offer you a huge thumbs up for your excellent info you've got right here on this post. I am returning to your web site for more soon.
Hi, I do think this is an excellent site. I stumbledupon it š I'm going to return once again since i have book-marked it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help others.
This is the right web site for anyone who would like to understand this topic. You realize so much its almost tough to argue with you (not that I personally would want toā¦HaHa). You certainly put a brand new spin on a subject which has been written about for many years. Wonderful stuff, just great!
With all the shouting going on about America's health care crisis, many are probably finding it difficult to concentrate, much less understand the cause of the problems confronting us. I find myself dismayed at the tone of the discussion (though I understand it-people are scared) as well as bemused that anyone would presume themselves sufficiently qualified to know how to best improve our health care system simply because they've encountered it, when people who've spent entire careers studying it (and I don't mean politicians) aren't sure what to do themselves.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
