Zitat:
Six had mild left ventricular hypertrophy
with maximum wall thickness of 15 to 17mmand mean
(SD) heart weight of 403 (77) g, including 1 with a clinical
history ofWolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. One other athlete
had a congenital coronary arterial anomaly, and 2 had
structurally normal hearts.

(Fast) alles Sachen die man Echokardiographisch bzw. im Ruhe-Ekg feststellen könnte, die Koronaranomalie ist von fraglicher klinischer Relevanz.

In der Zusammenfassung bietet der Autor auch die nahe liegende Erklärung an:

Furthermore, deaths were more common in triathlons
involving greater numbers of competitors. Because triathlons
begin with chaotic, highly dense mass starts,
involving up to 2000 largely novice competitors entering
thewater simultaneously, there is opportunity for bodily contact
and exposure to cold turbulent water.3 Triathlons also
pose inherent obstacles to identifying distressed athletes and
initiating timely resuscitation on open water.
