[Jolly Amaranto]

Genetics have a lot to do with it. I never smoked, watched what I ate and rode bike about 100 miles a week. My dad had a history of coronary artery disease, so I made an appointment with a cardiologist for a "routine" test. Nuclear stress test showed a lack of oxygen uptake in my heart wall so they wanted to do a catheter cineangiogram. Ended up with a quadruple bypass early the next morning. I had no symptoms at all beforehand.
