Marathon running and immunity to coronary heart disease: fact versus fiction. 1984

T D Noakes, and L H Opie, and A G Rose

Marathon runners should not consider themselves immune to either sudden death or coronary heart disease. Further, physicians should not assume that marathon runners cannot have serious cardiac disease. All symptomatic marathon runners should undergo exhaustive cardiovascular evaluation. However, since some runners do not have any premorbid warning symptoms, not even these measures will prevent all cases of sudden death during marathon running.
