Post Script: Think You are Not At Risk For Heart Disease


As you know, my last blog discussed the sudden and massive heart attack of the husband of a friend of mine. I'm saddened to report that he passed away yesterday. I will be attending his funeral today.

Heart disease doesn't happen to "someone else" or in "so & so's family". It happens to all of us. Yes, this man did have risk factors-but perhaps not the obvious ones. I've heard people say "but he wasn't overweight" and "he ate fairly well". However, his father had a heart attack at age 50, so his family history was key.

He left a wife and 2 children. His daughter's last vision of him was being taken away in an ambulance. She never got to see him again. Please send good thoughts their way today as they say their final good bye.
