They cover adjusting to the requirements when someone id diagnosed with a serious arrhythmia that is threatening so it is possible to remain active. And this is something I can relate to because of my PD.

None of the authors advocate that no one cease hard training or their competition unless they are diagnosed with a possibly dangerous condition. This is not aimed at joe couch potato, its really more of a primer for someone that is interested in learning more about these anomalies should they feel there is a problem. Some might find that the discussions put them off, that is up to each individual I suppose.
