editWAT(?) is it all about in this 1 minute, 25 seconds video from 2009 ... http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=j06H2J3Mi4A
"...Brittany had a history of HYPOglycemia and was hospitalized in April 2009 for low blood sugar while on location in Oregon..."
WAT(?) about substantially upping blood glucose FUEL concentration to help FUEL her heart & nerves ...

... the irony of which is that a large heart, or any heart with more muscle, foreseeably needs more fuel and can use more fuel at a faster rate just like why big fast cars run out of gas easier than tiny low performance vehicles[1][2][3]
Brittany Murphy & Antonio Puerta were very high performance Human Beings ...

... many People when peculiarly distressed [(emotionally or physically) to drain more fuel than normal] can then 'faint or collapse' from fuel exhaustion ... the important issue, especially when sports inc running are involved, is to then raise the blood glucose fuel concentration substantially and asap ...
PROPOSED RESCUE protocol includes that the primary objective of appropriate emergency treatment should be maintenance of life-support and NOT 'premature resuscitation' [prior to addressing the cause of the effect]. Resuscitation should be a secondary objective. Brittany Murphy & Antonio Puerta had fainted potentially as a protective effect to conserve/utilise what was left of an apparent relative shortage of fuel [cause] to the brain. Chest/heart massage can provide blood to the brain for hours ... plenty of time for medical assistance by way of an intra-venous glucose drip to raise the blood glucose fuel concentration to above 15mmol/litre or 270mg/decilitre or 2700mg/litre [preferably within 15 minutes of fainting]. Such a procedure is likely to return the heart to spontaneous rhythm and can be adopted at low cost and should be adopted globally asap ...

Carry honey for when You feel faint ... too simple?
Should likely save many lives.

edit"... Thanks, I hadn't thought especially about a big heart, but a big brain does require an unusually good supply of glucose or ketones. George W. Crile was thinking about related issues, the need for the thyroid, adrenals, and liver to match the needs of the brain ..." Raymond Peat FRI.01.JAN.2010 @ 04:18 GMT
