Key result
Significant physical exertion during the Boston Marathon in cold and rainy weather was associated with the development of hypothermia and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in a healthy athlete.
Why the study?
Less is known about noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in marathon runners, a condition most physicians are unfamiliar with.

Alerts clinicians to exertional hypothermia as a rare edema trigger in athletes; leaves open causal mechanisms for prospective study.
Case Report (n=1)
Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema can occur in marathon runners due to significant physical exertion combined with cold and rainy weather and hypothermia.
Aoun et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema and hypothermia (n=1). Significant physical exertion in cold and rainy weather (marathon running) was evaluated on Development of hypothermia and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema. Significant physical exertion during the Boston Marathon in cold and rainy weather was associated with the development of hypothermia and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in a healthy athlete.
