It sounds like there were some contributing factors and it wasn't the "running" that caused it but other abnormalities like "a predisposition toward a type of hypertension" that occurred during exercise. IF he were biking, he probably would have gotten the calcium build up as well. Hmmmm. How the heck do they check for something like that? Stress test? Can they check you BP while you run or do you stop and measure it? How do they measure blood vessel constriction? Lots to think about on this one.
