Yup. My father had 5 heart attacks. First at age 48. Final at age 69 in 1989.Wow you've been on medication since your 30's. Does high blood pressure/cholesterol run in your family?
Pure Type A personality, lived to work as an executive, no sports or exercise, smoked cigars, hated vacations, and was a very uncooperative patient when it came to following his doctors' advice.
He got a pacemaker in 1981.
He went to Texas in late 1988 to see Dr. Debakey about a heart transplant, but was denied as they realized he would never do what would be required for a proper recovery.
They gave him 6 months to live as his heart was so damaged, and they were right...
