Suggest Possible Reasons For Heart Attack
My husband passed away 3 weeks ago from a heart attack. He had one back in 2001 before I met him. He had 4 stints put in and had been in great health ever since. On medications and had type 2 diabetes which was under control. He was 72. Could this have been caused by overworking and too much stress put on the heart? His dad had heart disease and died at a much early age.

Hello
Welcome to HCM. Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.
Yes, you are right. Stress is the major risk factor in causing heart attack. Also once getting an heart attack there are always chances of reattack.
Family history also plays a vital role in this . diabetes is also one of the big risk factor.
Hope this helps you.
