Coronary periarteritis as a rare cause of angina in a runner: hybrid PET/CT findings

European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging·2026

Researchers documented a case where a runner experienced chest pain (angina) caused by coronary periarteritis, an uncommon inflammatory condition affecting the outer layer of coronary arteries. Advanced imaging techniques revealed this rare cardiac condition as the underlying cause of the runner's symptoms.

This case highlights how chest pain during running can stem from unexpected cardiac conditions that require specialized diagnostic approaches. Runners experiencing persistent or concerning chest symptoms may benefit from comprehensive cardiac evaluation that goes beyond standard testing.

Abstract 3624: Long-term running and risk of colorectal adenoma and cancer

Cancer Research·2026

Researchers examined whether long-term running patterns might influence the development of colorectal adenomas and cancer, addressing concerns that high-volume running could increase gastrointestinal risks. Tracking nearly 240,000 participants across three large cohorts for up to 32 years, they observed that running was generally associated with lower rates of these conditions rather than higher ones.

>for runners

Runners concerned about potential gastrointestinal risks from sustained training volumes might find reassurance in these long-term observational patterns. The data suggests that even substantial weekly running hours don't appear to elevate colorectal health risks in the ways some have theorized.
