Cyclists' hearts: can you be so fit that you die?

Ғылым және технология

Why have dozens of endurance athletes died in their sleep over the last few decades? How can a cyclist's heart rate be slower than an elephant's?
Elite cyclists have such extreme physiology and such abnormal cardiovascular systems that their hearts beat less than 30 times a minute. Combined with performance-enhancing drugs that makes their blood thick and gloopy with red blood cells, this spells a recipe for disaster.
The legendary 'Il Pirata', Marco Pantani, had to wake up in the night and cycle on a stationary bike to make sure his heart rate didn't drop too low and cause a heart attack. During the day, he lived to ride...but at night, he rode to stay alive.

    Just sharing my experience with this. My dad was a hard charger and an avid cyclist who loved to work outdoors in the yard and around the house. He'd regularly go on rides between 80-100 miles in the scorching southeast Texas sun. About a year ago now his heart suddenly just stopped in his sleep. They managed to restart his heartbeat in the ambulance as he was rushed to hospital but his body had been starved of oxygen for just too long. They took him off life support but to the astonishment of the doctors he stayed stable for almost two weeks until his organs finally failed him and he passed away. He was 61 years old but he was in absolutely phenomenal shape and none of the doctors could explain to us why it just happened like it did. Most likely a combination of electrolyte imbalance, exhaustion and very low sleepinh heartrate as hed ridden all morning and worked in the yard the entire day prior. This was very interesting for me personally to watch. In the Army I've also seen what insufficient electrolyte intake can do to even the strongest, fittest, and outwardly healthy soldiers. The human body has such a bizarre duality of strength and fragility. It's like a constant balancing act.

    I’m also getting more smaller, yet higher quality channels in my feed. I’d attributed it to me spending a lot more time looking for channels like this, or other education channels (specifically politics and philosophy in my case), and watching a lot more smaller channels. Ever since I switched away from the bigger channels (like FBE), my feed has rewarded me for it.

As a former runner and cyclist my body was shot by 40, hips knees large heart and lungs spine all deteriorated. Even now in my 50s i still ride but nothing extreme , it hurts too damn bad. If i could do it all over knowing what i do now, i would never have pushed the limits in my youth.

    Wow, my grandpa is 86 ad is going to cycle 170km tomorrow. His hart rate was 40 beats per minute a long time ago but it’s now back to a healthy 60 in rest. (He has been casually cycling at least 100km a day for the past 16 years. And before that he probably cycled more.) (I started going to the gym to get some muscle of course. And I told him I went to the gym. And he told me I should focus on getting tired while exercising, to increase my stamina. That man can only see from one perspective, and I love it.)

    I have a friend who was born with "athletes heart" who has to constantly take blood thinners and is at high risk of dying due to his heart stopping in his sleep. He constantly wears a heart monitor and will be given a pacemaker if anything gets worse. He is only 21 years old and has no history of drug abuse. The medications seem to be working though and he is improving although he is very sour and negative these days, probably due to living in constant fear of dying every time he goes to sleep.

    yes, theoretically you can die being "too fit" indeed. Taking myself as an example, I used to do sports (running, cycling) on a daily basis for decades. Now, being 50 years old, still having a great stamina, I have (developed) a heart condition, similar to what's mentioned, my doctor calls this a "sportsheart". Few months ago I ended up in hospital after heartfailure. X-ray and echoscopic test showed my left heart chamber is aproximately 75% bigger than a "normal" heart, my lung capacity (volume) is a -measured- 8 litres. I had a holter registration device monitoring my heart rate for 48 hours, and it showed my heart rate dropped to ~25 to ~30 bpm while sleeping, and (while sleeping) it incidentally flatlined for a few seconds every now and then. Take into acount that I quit "real" sports for more than a decade (on a daily basis that is) so the long term effect is there and irreversable. Now I need to be on medications for (most probably) the rest of my life, otherwise there's a (higher) risk of me dying in my sleep. Note: I never did performance enhanching anything in my entire life. I'm convinced if I ever did, I wouldnt be here.

    ​@@tfwthelsdkicksin6083 , Essentially, computers only allocate a limited amount of memory to each number variable that it stores. As such, any number will have a limited representable range. Without going into details, if you increment a number that is at the upper bound of that range, the number will flip to the lowest number in that range (the opposite can occur as well). This is basically an integer overflow error (A memorable example of this is in the civ games, whereby how pacifistic a nation is is determined by a number with a small range. `Ghandi started as a high degree of pacifism, but when the India civ becomes democratic the pacifism number is incremented past the range, and you suddenly get nuke-Ghandi).

    New to this channel and loving it... would you do a video about AF in athletes in the future? very interesting to me as somebody in internal medicine aiming to specialize in cardiology!

    I am 78 years old and Bradycardia was recorded on my medicals many years ago. I was very fit in my late teens and up to 30 years old but deteriorated to middling fitness (at best) after that. I then took up reasonably serious exercise after that to control my weight as I put on weight at an alarming rate if I did not exercise. One of my employers had a cut-off heart rate at 60 - so I had to run up the stairs immediately prior to walking into his rooms to ensure a pass and continued employment. Double LAD open heart surgery nearly 13 years ago for blockage levels that would not qualify for surgery these days. I have had worse trips to the dentist. My heart rate right now is 53 although early morning checks are often in mid to high 40's About 6-8 years ago I had to wear a halter for 48 hours on Cardiologist request and recorded a minimum of 34 overnight. I have done numerous Stress Echo Tests with no surprises - the most recent last May - I always run out the clock I actually hate exercise but if I stop - which I do periodically - I resemble a golf ball in a distressingly short period of time - and have to fast and start all over again. Probably because I regard cold beer, Tbone steaks with home-made hummus on home-made French sourdough bread with the same reverence the good Doctor on this site regards the essential amino acids

    I was checked by a doctor recently and she was concerned my hear rate is 55bpm. I told her I'm concerned too, it's not low enough! Used to be 38....so anyway, I started running every day. Going to see how concerned I can make my doctor over the next few months.

    You're a ridiculously funny guy. You've seriously got the perfect tone/pace of speech for this medium and a penchant for being entertaining and informative. I'm pretty sure you'll be teaching me and many others the answers to questions we never even thought to ask, for a long time.
