I don't know, my brother, who is an MD, at age 58 or so was taken off the treadmill and sent directly to the hospital. Of course, he wanted to drive, typical scenario. Yea, they took him to the hospital where he works and did a quad bypass. He was originally set to go on vacation in a few days.
My younger brother!
