Let My Heart Attack Save Your Life
Article Abstract:
Twenty-two men, ranging in age from 25 to 74, briefly share their memories of their heart attacks. Many of them denied that it was happening even as it happened, refusing to believe that one so young could suffer from one. High stress jobs, excessive smoking and poor diets are frequently cited as causes.
