My dad had a heart attack about 20 years ago and he's still going strong at 75. You'll be fine if you look after yourself.

I'd be properly gutted if that happened to me, what a waste of a days' uplift!

Best of luck.

Here in Italy to do any competitive amateur sport you have to have an annual ECG with a cardiologist,this involves 12 minutes on a gym bike or treadmill depending on what sport you do.I have a couple of club mates who have had problems highlighted and refused a license.They have then been treated and then returned to racing.Maybe the UK should follow suit.

That's because in Italy they have a higher than normal incidence of the (often) genetic condition [url= http://www.c-r-y.org.uk/arvc/ ]ARVC[/url]. This is pretty unpleasant and is one of those things where exercise is actually bad for you (and can often prove fatal).

While different from a heart attack, the principle of testing isn't a bad idea. With things like ARVC (and HCM, which is what [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrice_Muamba#Cardiac_arrest_on_the_pitch ]Fabrice Muamba[/url] has) often the first symptom is a fatal cardiac arrest.

Glad things are looking up dirtyboy..!

Glad to hear that you're recovering. (Steer clear of the energy drinks, they were banned in France for years because of the effects they can have on hearts.)
