Michael- I think you need to ask physicians about the "most heart attacks occur during the parasympathetic phase". I'm not even sure what you mean- do you mean at rest? During parasympathetic arousal? On the second point. No. Jim Fixx died while running (or jogging as he preferred to call it). Perhaps telling is the quote from the NYT:
"Reports immediately after his death suggested that Mr. Fixx did not have a regular physician and had not gone for a routine checkup as his sister had urged him to do, even though his father had his first heart attack at the age of 35 and died of another one at 43."

Is this a rebound issue? Btw,didn't the dude who wrote a book on running (James Fixx) died of a heart attack when he was at rest?
