Aspirin to Prevent Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes with High Coronary Artery Calcium Scores While a successful Reanimation has improved the survival after a cardiac arrest during road runs in Japan, this achievement no longer deals with the coronary heart disease as the cause of an increasing frequency of cardiac arrest in Middle-aged men during marathons and Ironman triathlons. Based on the high prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease through the use of cardiac computed tomography at endurance awards with low profiles of the cardiac highway factor, we recommend the calcium values of coronary artery in the CT as a more reliable and independent predictor for cardiac events, including death, as among adults aged 3046 years confirmed.
More than 100 Agatton units indicate a 10-year heart risk of 7.5%, which recommends additional measures for primary prevention, including aspirin. This is conclusive to reduce first heart attack in men with the same age in a prospective, controlled double blind. Targeted screening on subclinical coronary arteriosclerosis with calcium values of coronary artery is advisable to justify the use of sufficiently dosed aspirin to mitigate the increasing frequency of sport-related sudden heart death due to plaque rupture.
