There have been some high-profile and very fit advocates of physical activity who have died of heart attacks aat quite young ages.
Being fit is no guarantee at all. However, clotting and clogging of the arteries in the heart do seem to be key factors and can be strongly linked, I think, to diet and exercise.
Another little known factor is a genetic predisposition to clotting of the blood. Machka has it, and it was brought to light by a serious case of DVT.
There sometimes can be more to heart attacks than people think.
