What it means is, being roughed up by the cops could cause a heart attack to occur earlier. But it would have happened eventually anyway. The only way it could have been stopped was if his doc happened to decide to do the right tests and discovered, then treated, the problem before an attack can occur.
By the way, you need more exercise than jumping to conclusions if you want to avoid having a heart attack.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Not everyone with heart disease has a heart attack. Many get symptoms that result in procedures to head off a heart attack (angioplasty, stents, bypass surgery).
