Days after Luke Perry’s death at 52 from a stroke, here is another grim reminder that the young are far from invincible.
Days after Luke Perry’s death at 52 from a stroke, a new study on heart-attack rates has another grim reminder that the young are far from invincible — and maybe even more vulnerable than they used to be.
Heart-attack rates are rising for adults under age 40, researchers found after comparing data of heart attack survivors ages 41 to 50 with those survivors who were 40 and younger.
In fact, the proportion of heart-attack patients under age 40 has been climbing 2% every year for the last 10 years, according to findings slated for presentation at the American College of Cardiology’s annual scientific session later this month.
The researchers tried to unearth the risk factors explaining the rise and said substance abuse might share part of the blame. The youngest patients were more likely to use marijuana and cocaine compared to slightly older counterparts, even if they drank less alcohol.

Back at the beginning of the school year we had a local teenager, 18, die of a heart attack at football practice...................
Most of this may be from drug use? I work with some one who was friends with drug users both of who died of apparent heart attack. Both always talked about getting some bad drugs to the other to “blow their heart out.” He suspects that one paid the drug supplier to do this and then the drug supplier shut up the original payer to hide the tracks.
I had one at 40. Fairly fit. Was in my 22nd year of military service.
Thumbs up from Dungeonmaster!
Organic vegan stuff is bad for you. You heard it here first.

I see more morbidly obese teenagers and 20 somethings than I ever have before....
