IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A 23 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK?




Heart attacks represent sudden occlusion of a coronary artery.  This happens most commonly because of atherosclerotic plaque rupture, although other things (like coronary spasm, cocaine use, and vasculitis, etc.) need to be considered, particularly in a 23 year old.  Traditional risk factors might be less applicable.
