You are totally right.

I know a man who ran about 80 marathons in his life, a sports med doctor, with perfect health. One day on his Sunday morning 20-miler (run) he starts having chest and left arm pain. He's in disbelief: how can this be happening to me? But nonetheless gets (runs??!!) to the hospital only to learn that he needed a quadruple bypass immediately. Congenital heart problems can happen even to the fittest. I'm pretty sure this guy also had low blood pressure and a resting pulse of 40!!

I hope your husband is better now! Nothing provides perfect protection, but a good lifestyle and some education takes us forward.
