When it comes to exercise, there really can be too much of a good thing.
Training hard for top performance can cause wildly abnormal heart rhythms. These arrhythmias are not just frightening: They can be deadly. And they're being diagnosed in more athletes every day.
The Haywire Heart explains in detail how and why endurance exercise can cause a variety of heart arrhythmias. It lays out your chances of developing a heart condition from the sport you love, and it tells you what you can do to prevent damage and still stay active.
Real-life case studies illustrate how endurance athletes like you are confronting the problem. A frank discussion of exercise addiction will help you assess and minimize risk. You'll also find practical advice on how to discuss proven treatments with your doctor.
The Haywire Heart is a critically important guide for athletes. It will help you protect your heart now so that you can enjoy a healthy, active life for decades to come.
"A great resource."-Runner's World
"A must-read for any dedicated athlete." -Triathlete
"Anyone who does intense or long endurance training, especially over many years, should read this book." -[...]
Chris Case is a neuroscience graduate of Colgate University. His groundbreaking article "Cycling to Extremes" brought exercise-induced arrhythmia to national attention.
John Mandrola, MD, is a leading cardiac electrophysiologist and Chief Cardiology Correspondent for Medscape. He is a runner and cyclist with a heart arrhythmia.
Lennard Zinn is a best-selling author and former member of the US national cycling team whose personal story of multifocal atrial tachycardia inspired this book.
