Normann Stadler, Heart Surgery, and You

By Lcreswell @athletesheart
In my monthly column at Endurance Corner, I write about Normann Stadler, the 2-time Ironman World Champion who recently underwent urgent heart surgery. He's making a good recovery early after operation.
I share my thoughts about how heart disease affects even the fittest athletes. The lesson in Stadler's story is to take charge of your own cardiovascular health.
