Abstract

Managing collapsed athletes is an integral part of medical care at any endurance event. Being prepared with a good triage plan can decrease stress for physicians who-often as volunteers-cover such events. Understanding the mechanism behind exercise-related collapse helps differentiate benign episodes from the more serious cardiac events and other medical causes.
