Earlier this morning, the news went viral of a 65-year-old man and his 35-year-old son who collapsed and died in a similar manner while heading to a hospital after attending a festive event. The father was reportedly carrying the son to a hospital after the latter had complained of uneasiness during a garba event. Reaching the hospital premises, the son collapsed suddenly and seeing him pass out, the father suffered an instant cardiac event. Both were rushed into the hospital and were later pronounced dead.

High intensity physical activity and sudden cardiac event

Studies have shown that high intensity exercise or physical activities can acutely increase the risk for sudden cardiac arrest in individuals with underlying cardiac disease. Such high intensity activities can also increase the risk of heart rhythm disorders, especially for people who have coronary heart disease. Also, sudden noise or loud music can cause instant high blood pressure and irregular heartbeat.
