i see. no just curious really.
i have loads of questions for my cardiologist but havent had the time to see him.
would you say in them very mi-nute cases of this phenomenon, that correctly cooling down would stop the cardiac arrest?
ive heard alot about structural issues causing arrests ONLY during cool down period. surely one would expect the hardest work load during the workout to be the root cause
I believe what you're saying could be a cause. But its not the adrenaline directly but rather indirectly. A lot of these people have underlying heart issues; sturctutal issues which may cause in sufficient ejection of blood. Adrenaline remains following a race or a run and causes the heart to beat fast and hard. While the runner recovers, blood is pooling in the legs because the muscles are a rest and are longer squeezing the blood out of them. Now perhaps due to some structural abnormality, the ventricles aren't filling sufficiently to circulate an adequate volume of oxygen enriched blood to the heart. This COULD lead to an arrhythmia which COULD turn into cardiac arrest. But I would imagine that if you look at the statistics, the number of deaths due to this occurring are very low. Are you concerned about yourself, or just curious?
