Key Points

Review the clinical circumstances, postmortem pathology, and physiological mechanisms linked to sudden cardiac death occurring during or immediately after exercise.
Synthesized pathological and clinical reports from forensic and postmortem examinations of exercise-related fatalities.
Evaluated cardiovascular lesions, coronary artery abnormalities, and functional cardiac stresses associated with severe exertion.
Identifies pre-existing cardiovascular conditions, predominantly advanced coronary atherosclerosis and structural cardiac anomalies, as the primary causes of sudden exertion-related death.
Demonstrates that intense physical effort acts as an acute trigger unmasking silent pathological lesions rather than damaging healthy cardiovascular systems.

Implication

Exercise-related cardiac death risk remains poorly defined; leaves open need for modern prospective studies.
