My father passed away a few months ago from a massive heart attack at the age of 57.
After learning that all of his aunts and uncles had passed away from a
heart attack before the age of 60, I am now wondering if I am at risk for a heart defect? He was in okay health, active, non-smoker, but did not eat well and was overweight. He hadn't seen a doctor for as long as I knew him, but I know he had high blood preassure.
