Sudden Cardiac Death Less Likely If You're Exercising

Not exercising. Training.

There is a smaller chance of dying from sudden cardiac arrest if it is exercise-related, than cardiac arrests for other reasons, researchers from The Netherlands reported at the European Society for Cardiology 2012 Congress, in Munich, Germany. Dr Arend Mosterd, and team from the Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, presented their findings from ARREST (the Amsterdam Resuscitation Study). The study has been published in Circulation.

And if you train, the likelihood of a prolonged, suffering-filled death is lessened, too.
