In this episode, I talk to Dr. Arvind Bhateja on the alarming raise in sudden fatalities in the athletic community due to Cardiac events in the recent times and what we can do to prevent them. It is a short conversation on an important topic for us to understand and do whatever is in our control to avoid these tragic events. Although we talked about the case of our dear friend Late Anil Kadsur, who passed away due to a cardiac condition early this year, what we talked about is not limited to his case. Dr. Arvind's insights on the topic are super helpful in understand the underlying causes and limiting the risks. I hope this conversation helps you in understanding a bit more about the alarming trend and do your bit to take care of your own health for the sake of youself and your loved ones.

About the Podcast

The working athlete podcast is a podcast with and for working athletes from all walks of life and various sports. The goal is to provide inspiration, training tips, mental hacks, time management and life-style advice through conversations with some of the best in sport, from athletes to coaches. If you think you can benefit from this, please consider subscribing so that you don't miss the weekly episodes in future.

Who is a working athlete? Someone working fulltime/part-time, entrepreneur or anyone who has to work to make ends meet and doesn't let being busy to stop him/her from pursuing an active lifestyle is a working athlete. I consider stay at home moms/dads who pursue a sport, as working athletes because homemaking is a full-time job.
