It is common knowledge that physical exercise promotes health and prevents heart disease and heart attacks. However, we also sometimes see young, healthy looking people having heart attacks or dying suddenly during training or during marathon running.
In summary if you have been 'screened' properly (including a CACS, if deemed appropriate), if you make a gradual entry into an exercise program, building up your stamina and endurance slowly and safely, noting any unusual symptoms at any time, are leading a healthy lifestyle with diet, regular exercise and sufficient sleep, using protective medications if advised and enough fluids, you are sure to minimize your chances of a heart attack and are on the road to success without tears.
