episode 749: Why 52 Is A Dangerous Age For Heart Attacks
In the past two weeks, three well known Australians all aged 52 have suffered serious heart attacks, tragically leaving two of those people deceased and the third needing to undergo a life-saving operation.
Is it just a coincidence that Shane Warne, Senator Kimberley Kitching and former AFL player Dean Wallis all suffered similar medical episodes at the same age, or are there things we can learn from their experience about how to look after our heart health?
The Quicky speaks to an expert cardiologist to find out who is most at risk of a heart attack, and what we can all do to protect ourselves and our loved ones as we get older.
