One thing that these stories leave out is family history. Do those of you that experienced these cardiac events have family history of heart attacks? My Dad died in an aircraft accident at 50 but the probable cause was heart attack after his autopsy discovered sever coronary disease and blockages. His dad had a heart attack in his early 50's but survived and had a pacemaker for the rest of his life into his 80s. He had smoked most of his life and switched to chewing. I always figured that I would be looking at similar issues so here at 60 I'm about to find out on Friday when I do a stress test. Even though I know my family history, I have not let it dictate my lifestyle. I generally try to moderate just about everything in my life so unless the doc can show me empirical data about how what I eat will be what kills me I am not likely to change much. Did you guys make radical changes to your diets or exercise routines post heart attack?
