Background High-intensity physical activity has traditionally been discouraged in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to concerns about triggering sudden cardiac death. However, current guidelines adopt a more liberal stance, and evidence on risk factors for exercise-related sudden cardiac death remains limited.

” While an awe-inspiring anecdote, our knowledge of human limits, physiology, and the sheer number of participants in endurance sports is enough evidence to conclude that running a marathon won’t kill you. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. Pheidippides’ story is provocative.

Neurocardiology, perhaps initially more directed towards our understanding of sudden cardiac death, ultimately embraced an even significantly more complex scheme of local circuit neurons and near-endless loops of interconnecting neurons in the heart.

BACKGROUND:Commotio cordis, sudden cardiac death (SCD) caused by relatively innocent impact to the chest, is one of the leading causes of SCD in sports. A physiological commotio cordis model was utilized to assess variables that predicted for SCD. In the third phase, this model was calibrated and validated.

The granulomatous inflammation affects the heart, causing an infiltrative cardiomyopathy The most common manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis are atrioventricular (AV) block and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT). SCD (sudden cardiac death) from sarcoid heart disease is thought to be caused by either from high-grade AV block or VT.
