Can anyone get a heart attack ...well a healthy person?

Question

I was just wondering. Does it have to be someone who has heart problems or cholesterol or something. Can it be someone who is just healthy also without anyone having heart problems in their family .....can they get one???

Answer 1

Yes I've taken care of some who do not have any cardiac risk factors,  all had coronary arterty spasm leading to a heart attack and when they went for angiograms every thing was normal. Cocaine abuse,  one female  tested  positive for cold agglutinins, I've seen patients with only 10% obstruction in there coronary arteries (you should not have any symptoms until greater than 30%) who were in their early 20's have large heart attacks because of plaque formation in their arteries and the formation of blood clots causing a larger obstruction. It's  very rare though for a younger person to present with a heart attack though.

Answer 3

Yes, but when people who are healthy, or young, athletic.. they often have an underlying genetic problem that was undetected until they have an MI or stroke., or aneurism.

Answer 4

Yes. It is very rare though. Mostley because you are old or larger then others.

Answer 5

A healthy person wouldn't have a heart attack. There has to be something wrong with them.  As you mentioned  like high cholesterol, or diabetes complications.  Sometimes it can be a hidden congenial heart defect that someone has without knowing it.  And as one of  my family has just experienced-  one abusing drugs and alcohol, it brought on a massive heart attack for him. Panic attacks may feel like having a heart attack but they are not dangerous to your heart.  You mostly hyperventilate with those and  have to slow your breathing down to get over it. I have  tachycardia  which is the heart beating too fast and had to go on medicine to slow that down.  I also have diabetes, and high blood pressure.  But they say my heart is healthy, after my angiogram.
