God, that’s scary news. But medical science is wonderful at catching and fixing.
Here’s hoping everything goes well from now on.
Regrettably, about the only thing that can be done is (apparently) some types of medication and the implantation of a defibrillator to deal with any heart rhythm problems.
That’s really rough. Condolences. My wife and all three kids have really curly hair, but no signs of heart disease. A high percentage of Ashkenazy Jews do. My father’s was almost kinky although mine was, when I had any, relatively straight.
The 40 year old son of a good friend collapsed in the middle of a hockey game. By the time they got him off the ice, he was dead. No obvious cause.
Yep. That was one of the tip-offs - my dad’s family tree is littered with people simply dropping dead around 30 or even earlier for no apparent reason. It really sucks when the first obvious symptom of a problem is sudden death.
