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."
Tim
Evidence based on data showing that heart attacks are most prevalent in the
early mornong hours between 5AM and 8AM.Btw,Tim I am not sure if one can
talk about parasympathetic arousal.Sympathetic refers to the arousal of
function and parasympathetic is just the opposite.As usial I stand
corrected.
