Can't add anything to whats been said except tell you I had a heart attack in 2002 at the age of 47.I kind of expected it as my father died at 48 and all his brothers except one, the same.I also smoked and drank heavily though my saving grace was I worked very physically.So I survived.Since ,of course, I quit drinking and smoking and started biking which I do extensively though less than I'd hace liked this year.My stress tests are glowing as as is my blood pressure and I feel pretty healthy.I take statins,beta blockers aspirin and fish oil which is not a fad.My weight is too high and my diet is bad so there is much room for improvement above that which I've already made.About 3 years ago I had 2 more stents inserted for another narrowing artery they discerned.So keep being monitored and do the right things and you can ride and live till 100!
