A friend of mine, a few years younger than me & in pretty good shape, had heart failure while running a 5k a couple years ago. He received CPR right away, & his primary care physician was running just a few hundred yards behind him (it was a God thing). He recovered & now has a pace-maker. He's prescribed to do moderate exercise.
So I've been thinking about this situation with healthy endurance athletes in middle to late age experiencing heart problems. I ran across this book & I'm reading it now. Pretty detailed explanations, but still accessible for laymen with some basic biology understanding.
Any thoughts, experiences, or comments?
