I had mine coming up to 15 years ago. I was out of hospital in under two days. Had I been a cyclist then, I would have been back on the bike -- gingerly -- within the two weeks. As it was, I took up cycling as a result of the wake-up call.
I had mine while sailing. I had a general lack of energy, and chest pain. I was lucky. I had no significant blockage and "trivial" heart muscle damage, as the surgeon put it.
