Educating the public on basic CPR techniques and incorporating CPR training into school curricula could save lives.
The sudden death of a Canadian billionaire in Dubai due to suspected cardiac arrest following a workout prompted UAE doctors to warn of potentially fatal consequences when people with undiagnosed heart conditions engage in strenuous physical activities.
Frequently, according to doctors, “heart conditions that are not diagnosed can cause a seemingly healthy person to die during or after a physical activity, including intense workout or competitive sport.”
The Canadian billionaire was 60 years old, but just two years ago, in January 2022, a former British footballer who friends and colleagues described as “so fit and active” died while playing football in Dubai. He was only 35.
Dr Rahul Chaudhary, consultant cardiology and specialist interventional cardiologist at International Modern Hospital Dubai, told Khaleej Times that there has been a concerning increase in the number of young people collapsing unexpectedly during sports or strenuous workouts. This phenomenon, which is frequently linked to sudden cardiac arrest, poses a serious health risk that necessitates immediate attention and intervention to avoid fatal outcomes.”
