News
feature in Technology Review, March/April 1980. I researched
and wrote this feature after reading about sudden deaths among marathon
runners. It was later picked up by Readers' Digest! The
story described how undetected arterial occlusion gave rise in some
athletes to compensatorysecondary circulation with concomitant ballooning of the artery around the
occlusion, and bursting of the ballooned portion of the artery during
exertion while running. Sources included several medical journals and
interviews with physicians, as noted in the text. If you run, you should read this article. At the time, I was racing and commuting on a bicycle (see photo to right). The editor-in-chief of Technology Review, John Mattill, wrote an item about my bicycle commuting, which you can read by clicking here or by clicking on the photo. |
