...happens all too often; every three days to be exact. In the middle of throwing a curveball or catching a pass, a young athlete dies of sudden cardiac arrest - an abrupt loss of heart function that affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and is the leading cause of death in competitive athletes...
...years, the medical community has thought that only about 20 fatal cases of sudden cardiac arrest occurred each year in the U.S. among young athletes. But new research presented in November 2006 by Dr. Barry Maron, director of the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Center at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, at the American Heart Association conference shows that the number of deaths among those athletes under 35 is nearly six times higher. "This is still an underestimate," Maron says. "It is real public health problem." And those are just the cases we know about: the ones that are picked up by local...
...disease itself is as mysterious as its incidence. Unlike many heart problems indicated by symptoms or murmurs, the conditions that cause sudden cardiac arrest usually do not show up during a physical or an athletic screening. That was certainly the case for Davis Nwankwo, a basketball player from Vanderbilt University who collapsed suddenly last year during practice and was found later to have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that causes the heart muscles to thicken. "There were no warning signs at all," says Michael Meyer, an athletic trainer who saved Nwankwo's life using an automatic external defibrillator (AED), a portable...
...Dartmouth which has been especially kind to Flood in recent years. In last year’s heart-wrenching 14-13 triple-overtime home loss, he set a career high by winning 25 of 31 tries. It was a loss on the final try, however, that would lead to the game-winning goal by the Big Green...
...controversial topics that affect the very core of our University and even the world at large, like how chicken parmigiana should be served more often than biweekly. I love the power to stimulate intellectual debate over some of the world’s most perplexing issues. It fills my heart with glee when I overhear students arguing at breakfast over weighty questions that I bring up in my columns, like “If our noses run and our feet smell, are we built upside down?” (The answer, of course, is yes). Also, don?...
