As per the latest information from his doctor, the likely cause of this event was the fact that, over the past couple of years, Dr. Atkins has had an infection of the heart muscle (called the myocardium) contracted during an overseas trip. Coupled with the extreme heat conditions of mid-April here in New York, the 71-year old Dr. Atkins suffered this event."

i wouldnt expect him to blame his multi million dollar diet, as the lawsuits would be uncountable. now, how bout a nice three dollar wax bar?

Hmmm, do you have a private link to the guy's medical history? Are you a cardiologist? Can you say for sure myocarditis that persists over 2 years would NOT cause a cardiac emergency?

If this "heart attack" is related solely to Atkins' diet, and he's eaten this way for well over 30 years, how come he didn't have a heart attack years ago???
