Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
