29.2.2.1 Risk Factors Associated with Acute Cardiovascular Encounters

The most common cause of sudden death or cardiac arrest in older marathon runners is coronary artery disease.According to the European guidelines [32, 33], older runners (males >45 years; females >55 years) with one or more risk factors for CVD, and runners of younger age with two or more risk factors for CVD, require medical assessment before engaging in moderate- to high-intensity exercise such as distance running.

Recently, it was shown that:10% of Master athletes (mean age 50 ± 9 years) have existing cardiovascular disease, and 64% have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease [34].
