What is rippling muscle disease?
Jo Lindner confirmed he suffered from rippling muscle disease shortly before his death.
In a June interview with RAWTALK podcast, Jo expressed concern over his condition as it related to his bodybuilding career.
“The heart is also a muscle, that’s my biggest concern always. Like, what if I get such a bad cramp that my heart gets a cramp?” he said.
“That makes me scared. That’s why I’m staying away from bodybuilding competitions too much.”
According to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, “Rippling muscle disease (RMD) is a rare condition that primarily affects the muscles. It belongs to a group of conditions known as caveolinopathies.
“Symptoms of the condition generally begin during late childhood or adolescence, although the age of onset can vary widely. It is characterized by signs of increased muscle irritability, including percussion-induced rapid contractions (repetitive tensing of the muscle), percussion-induced muscle mounding (“bunching up” of the muscle), and/or visible rippling of the muscles.”
