Maybe Michael was referring to sudden cardiac death during parasympathetic rebound? Carol

They referred to breathing in as sympathetic phase and out as parasympathetic phase. Is that what your question was in reference to. (That was news to me!)

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?
