Key result
Completing a 42-km marathon in a healthy but untrained runner was associated with predominantly noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, concurrent hyponatremia, and cerebral edema.

Pulmonary edema warrants consideration in post-marathon dyspnea; leaves open incidence, mechanisms, and risk factors.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides hemodynamic evidence that pulmonary edema following a marathon can be noncardiogenic, possibly related to water intoxication and neurogenic factors.
Young et al. (1987) conducted a case report in Pulmonary edema and delirium (n=1). Completing a 42-km marathon was evaluated on Hemodynamic measurements and clinical presentation. Completing a 42-km marathon in a healthy but untrained runner was associated with predominantly noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, concurrent hyponatremia, and cerebral edema.
