Approximately 15 years ago, I was playing basketball in a 35 and older league. One of our best players died on the court. He was in his 30s; played basketball at least 3 times a week; and ate right. I went to his autopsy (after having a reaction similar to the Cardinals, magnified only by participating in his code). He had a 95% LAD lesion. I didn't know him very well other than basketball. The story came out that he had a very strong family history of coronary artery disease.

Most people believe that their health actions control their outcomes. While our actions are very important, sometimes genetics are stronger than our actions. They were for Darryl Kile. In matters of the heart, family history is crucial . Remember this story today, as you may get some new requests for evaluation.
