While the man reportedly had no history of heart disease, the tragedy has raised a critical question: Can regular exercise, especially intense workouts, increase the risk of heart attack or cardiac arrest?
The short answer is yes, but with important caveats, explains Dr. Amit Verma, a senior cardiologist at Max Healthcare. "While regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your heart, overexertion or unmonitored workouts especially in people with underlying or undiagnosed heart disease can act as a trigger for cardiac events," he says.
One of the main culprits behind exercise-related cardiac deaths is undiagnosed cardiovascular disease. Conditions like coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or arrhythmias may show no symptoms until they are pushed by intense physical exertion.
"Men over 40 and women over 50 should undergo a cardiac screening, including ECG, echocardiogram, and stress tests, especially if they're starting a new workout regime," adds Dr. Verma.
Another important thing that every gym goer must know - NEVER jump into heavy weight lifting or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), WITHOUT warming up your body. A quick warm-up session helps prepare your body and muscles for a heavy workout, putting less strain on your muscles.
Dr. Verma warns that symptoms like chest discomfort, shortness of breath, light-headedness, palpitations, or unexplained fatigue should be treated as red flags. "Your body is trying to tell you something listen to it," he says.
This tragic case adds to the growing list of incidents involving heart attacks during workouts, especially among middle-aged individuals.
Health experts have always suggested that every gym-goer or fitness enthusiast undergo mandatory full-body check-ups and consult a physician before adding any new elements to their daily routine. This is important for those who are above the age of 40 or with underlying health conditions. Here are a few things that you should also do to keep your heart healthy:
Remember the basic mantra - Exercise is essential for heart health, but when done improperly or without medical guidance, it can be fatal. Fitness should never come at the cost of your life know your limits, and train smart.
