All I can say is that I know as much as the doctor's do. July of the same year I had my heart attack, I did a tread mill stress test. The doctor said since I just turned 50, it would be nice for that as a routine.

The goal, was to stress my heart enough to get to like a 120 BPM. After being on the tread for 20 mins, they introduced a drug to put more stress on me. They were amazed that I couldn't break 100BPM after 20 min's at 2 MPH. (been an decent athlete most of my life)

The Cardiologists said I had a heart of a 25 yr old. 6 months later that same doctor was there when I arrived in an ambulance. So, you tell me. I am sure your thoughts, idea's and prejudices is as good as anyone I have ran into...
