title: Sudden Death During Exercise.
abstract: Sudden death during exertion is extremely rare. Among adults older than 30, coronary artery disease is the predominant cause of sudden death. Attention to risk factors and premonitory symptoms is the best prevention. Doing the appropriate testing, tailoring exercise programs, and discouraging denial help minimize the risk. But above all, physicians can help keep patients' fears in check so as not to deprive patients of the unquestionable benefits of exercise.
