the study showed that younger runners (under age 40) experiencing cardiac arrest were almost seven times less likely to survive than runners over 40 (7% vs. 47%). The reason, the authors stated, was that the underlying cardiac disease was distinctly different: In those cases under age 40, the predominant condition was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy whereas older runners had ischemic heart disease, a condition that’s more responsive to resuscitation efforts.
