True, but look at the bright side... you have an opportunity, if you take it seriously, to take the measures that can help prevent you from experiencing what I did. The thing about heart attacks, is that they are very preventable. OK, if you're 65 and have smoked your entire life, and weigh 500 lbs, you may not be able to reduce your odds a lot. But even then, you can reduce your risk of a heart attack somewhat. At 37, assuming you're in even halfway decent shape, you can improve your odds quite a lot by doing a few simple things:
1. stop smoking if you smoke.
2. lose weight
3. eat a healthier diet.
4. improve your lipid profile if it's off (talk to your doctor about this)
5. lower your blood pressure if it's high (again, talk to your doctor. Also, see: lose weight, and exercise more)
6. If you're diabetic, manage that. (Talk to doctor, lose weight, exercise more)
7. Exercise more.
8. (possibly) take a fish-oil supplement. There is at least some research showing that fish-oil can actually reverse existing atherosclerosis. And while it's not definitive on that point, almost everybody agrees that fish-oil is good for you. Even my cardiologist recommended it, while he was neutral / ambivalent on all of the other dietary supplements I asked him about.
9. It's even less certain, but consider supplementing COQ10, Aged Garlic Extract, and/or Resveratrol. There are varying levels of evidence to support using each of these. Don't take my word for it though, look up what's out there and judge for yourself. IANAD (Doctor)
10. Read two books: "Cholesterol Clarity" and "Keto Clarity" both by Jimmy Moore and Eric C. Westman. Consider their advice.
