Exercising boomers at increased risk for sudden cardiac death

The recent deaths of several gung-ho-for-exercise middle-age men shortly after working out are teaching a sobering lesson: Baby boomers are entering an age of increasing risk for heart attack. And, while exercise promotes heart health, it can also aggravate an underlying condition — sometimes with fatal consequences. The six vigorous, middle-age professionals exercised for all the right reasons: to relieve stress, reduce blood pressure, and condition their hearts and lungs. To live longer.

So why did they die? It's a question that friends, relatives and even doctors are asking after the recent heart-related deaths of four physicians, an insurance executive and a tax adviser.

What perplexes many is that the Baltimore-area men, all seemingly healthy, died during or shortly after workouts they thought were keeping them fit. Although the cases are different and raise imponderables about exercise and health, doctors struggling to make sense of the deaths say there are some important lessons. One is that baby boomers are entering an age of increasing risk for heart attack and should assess their health before starting a program of heavy workouts. Exercise is a great protector of the heart, but can also aggravate an underlying condition — one the person may not be aware of, or even have symptoms of. And the outcome can be death.

Did everything right

The string of deaths took on an eerie cast late last month when two physicians in their 40s — Dr. Michael Gallagher of St. Agnes HealthCare and Dr. Frederick Montz of Johns Hopkins Hospital — collapsed and died within a few days of each other while jogging.

 
 Who's most at risk?

Risky 50s: About 22 percent of adults in their 40s have some form of cardiovascular disease, but the percentage doubles among adults in their 50s.

Exercise risk: Vigorous exercise poses the greatest immediate threat to those with a family history of heart disease. Smoking, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol or other bloodstream fats are other potential risks.
