You can have cardiovascular heart disease and you or your doctor will have to reason to suspect that you do. You appear to be in fine health, until one fine day when you suddenly and unexpectedly drop dead from sudden heart failure.

A "Heart Attack" is caused By one thing or another thing specific to Older folks with specific issues, there are a series of Issues that can affect the heart and heart function which would typically be mopre in line with younger people such as a number of Cardiomyopathies which relate to thickening of the heart muscle in specific locations or In general which can throw off he hearts ability to function normally speeding the heart beat to Make up for the blood it can no long pump as it once did ... there are Numerous reasons from congenital issues (Born with) Illnesses that Scar heart tissue .

The most common “massive heart attack” is a myocardial infarction caused by occlusion, or blockage, of the “widow maker”… the left anterior descending artery, or “LAD”. A problem with the arterial plumbing supplying oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle itself.

Of note, Death from a “widow maker” is minutes to hours away depending on the severity of the blockage. LAD occlusion often creates the “perfect” electrical storm conditions for development of ventricular tachycardias and ventricular fibrillation. It's the “electrical” problem stemming from the “blocked plumbing” that often is the killer.

Lucky you or whoever had it

Usually a clotting disorder or a unknown or known congenital disorder

Outside of congenital problems, living a very sedentary life is the most likely cause, that and drug abuse. Some people also have a genetic predisposition for early onset arterial plaque production.

USUALLY a blood clot formed by a dislodged piece of plaque in the artery. And you're right, 'it can' happen to ANYONE, all you can do is try to lower the odds

Being a couch potato too long clogs up your

Veins and arteries and plugs up your heart

So it can't work. Also pushing yourself too

Hard while running or working out can cause

It. Do things in moderation and slowly build

Up.

Severe amounts of stress can do it.
