Why did I need bypass surgery? Recent research postulates that it could be too much time in the upper zones, plus heredity. My older brother had a quadruple bypass in his 60s. He was not an athlete. I previously had 3 stents which this surgery bypassed.
Very Glad for you and SO that your journey on this rock has not been interrupted ! Waking up every morning is prolly the most important thing we can do.
and not wanting to be prickly, but usually Bypass and stents are because of blockage in the arteries... and your talking about "too much time in the upper zones", which might lead to myocardial fibrosis; which would not benefit from a bypass (as far as I'm aware...)
And congrats for the coming 80... as far as I care, it's OK to 'round up' at this point in the count... LOL!
(are you needing to wear a HRM device? I don;t really know anyone directly who has had a Bypass...)
Ride On
