Dunno what the official diagnosis was, but when I told my girlfriend about what happened, she suspects hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In other words, the heart was brittle and was pushed too much and gave up.
Apparently not all athletes have large, healthy hearts. Some of them have underlying conditions that, when coupled with strenuous exercise, could overload the heart and cause it to fail.
Etong officemate ko, napagsabihan na pala ng doktor na magbawas sa physical activities cuz he was at risk. But he was too sporty...
