I am sorry to say that i feel that there is some truth in it. Though i
have heard of many tragic incidents, for those who have died who i knew
personnaly, the heart thing counts. ( 3 cases in 5 years)

Also I must point out that physical fitness is not everything. Its the
balance between which amount of oxygen your heart can take and which
amount your muscles will burn. The sum of both must be smaller than the
amount of oxygen at disposal in your system. 
Aging in this sense means an imbalance in favour of the skeletal
muscles, which may deprive the hearts own arterial system of the
necessary supply to garanty its survival.
In consequence one has to carefully chose ones trainings schemes, prefer
the aerobic workouts ( in favour fo the system) and rather avoid the
weights ( in favour of ones ego ;-))
