Just had my second heart attack in a year. Great care by my doctors and medical staff resulted in an excellent outcome once again with virtually no damage. I now have stents in 2 of the 3 major coronary arteries and prognosis is good.
I've got a huge family history of early heart attacks in men on both sides of the family and my physicians have said that, even if I can't escape the family curse, cycling may be a big factor in how well I have come through both attacks. My cardiologist and my local physician have both been big supporters of my cycling and want me to continue as soon as possible during my recovery. I'll be doing everything I can to maintain or improve my cardiovascular health, but, even with the deck stacked against me, it's nice to know that cycling is an ace up my sleeve.
