Is marathon really dangerous? For all runners? or a particular population? What is a “cardiac patient”? Same rules for everybody? What are the limits of “normality”? Enthusiasm + Popularity ++ USA + Europe > 2 millions runners/year; > 50 marathons/year Paris > 40 000 runners, London, Berlin, NY, ….. 2/3 = men; 39 years (F = 1/3; 34 years) Ultra marathons! Trails! UTMB … Norseman Xtreme Triathlon …… Although inequitable and always spectacular, deaths are rare. Namibia's Beata Naigambo collapses during the Commonwealth Games women's marathon, March 19, 2006, in Melbourne, Australia. Regularly, among thousand runners, one succumb (male x 6, young or not). USA : marathons or half marathons from 2000 to 2010 = 11 million runners: 59 cardiac arrests: 51 men, 8 women; 43 ± 13 years 42 deaths = 1 death / 260.000 runners. Kim JH, et al. Cardiac arrest during long-distance running races. N Engl J Med. 2012; 366: 130-40. London: from 1981 to 2012: > 750 000 marathon runners: 11 deaths (10 men, 1 woman) = 1/67.000 marathon runners For the overwhelming majority of runners, health benefits of exercising outweigh risks: life expectancy of 7 years longer / sedentary counterparts.

Registre des Accidents Cardiaques lors des courses d'Endurance Dr B Gérardin, 5ème Forum Européen Cœur, Exercice et Prévention 2012, Paris 15 03 2012. 5 big races « franciliennes » (Paris-Versailles, 20 km of Paris, Marathon of Paris, Half-Marathon of Paris, Half-Marathon of Boulogne-Billancourt) = 512 000 runners since 2006. 13 serious accidents . 13 men. 2 deaths (1/250 000 runners) - 9 CRA: 6 coronaropathy (1 death) + 3 rhythmic (1 DAVD, 1 Brugada, 1 unknow) - 4 hyperthermias (1 malign). < 35 years: never ischemic > 35 years: 8 /10 = coronaropathy. Experienced: only one novice + unprepared Low risk factors: only 1 = overweight + smoking Occurrence : - at any time (on departure, in the midst, on arrival or 1h30 after) - 3 during marathon (1/50 000) or 10 during other race (1/36 000) 2 previous angor, 1 fever: «distrust functional signs which appear at a sportsman's » Running a marathon puts immense strain on the body. What are the main health risks? Main events = minor injuries: tendinous or muscular pains, muscular and digestive cramps, … Deshydration (with hyperthermia) is the biggest problem, Hyponatremia, Hypoglycemia, Vaso-vagal faintness. CV accident(during training or race) : UNCOMMON … for the healthy subject! But: short or bad training, « fight spirit », race in hostil environment (warm, cold, wind, rain, …), CAN BE FATAL especially if exists a CARDIAC « ABNORMALITY », KNOWN or REVEALED by race. Maron B, et al. Circulation. 2009; 119: 1085-92. Markers of myocardial injury .. Symptoms! ECG changes. Elevation of serum biomarkers (plethora of studies): - NT pro-BNP / LV dysfunction - troponin T / LV or RV dysfunction. Echocardiographic assessment of ventricular dysfunction: - modification LV diastolic function by mitral doppler + annular DTI - study by speckle tracking of LV Strain + LV distortion - PAPS elevation, RV enlargement + RV systolic dysfunction, also visible with tissular Doppler and RV strain.

ETT RV volumes increased and all functional measures decreased post-race, LV volumes reduced and function was preserved. BNP increase post-race (13 vs. 25, P = 0.003) cTnI increase (0.01 vs. 0.14 μg/L, P < 0.0001) correlated with reductions in RVEF (P = 0.001) RV function decreases when race duration increases, but mostly recovered by 1 week. On CMR, delayed gadolinium enhancement localized to the inter ventricular septum was identified in 5 of 39 athletes who had greater cumulative exercise exposure and lower RVEF (47 vs. 51 %, P = 0.042). Long-term clinical significance: fibrosis? Aptitude for marathon : search a «cardiac abnormality » and use reason! Interrogation (information sheet signed by the sportman?) - palpitations, dyspnoea, «faintness», precordialgia? it is not « normal » to feel symptoms by running - reduction of the performances? - family sudden death? coronaropathy? HTA? .. - recent infection? - dopage? Clinical exam: heart murmur? HTA? ECG? ETT? VO2max > 30 ml/kg/min ? The endurance athletes heart: acute stress and chronic adaptation. George K et al. Br J Sports Med. 2012;46:i29-i36. Acute endurance exercise bouts = a significant stress to the heart with evident ‘cardiac fatigue’ (biomarker release + ventricular dilatation) and adequate recovery. Vast majority of endurance athletes (training + competition) will lead heart healthy. Small minority: emerging evidence that endurance exercise = patho-physiological cascade. “Patients with cardiac pathology, even minimal, are exposed to accident.” Run for your life ... at a comfortable speed and not too far !
