Says he: "A case could be made that the marathon runner is at a decreased risk of cardiovascular death when he is not running, but at an increased risk when he is." So what is a runner to do?

One patient died even though the defibrillator worked faultlessly. The doctors shut down the device in a 16-year-old Pennsylvania boy because his heartbeat was so rapid that it triggered frequent shocks. The device is now being reprogrammed to accept the boy's quick pulse. The longest user...
