So glad you caught it. My uncle had the same issue a few years back.
I'm 36 and recently had the Heartwise tests done. Heart issues are common on my dad's side so I figured it couldn't hurt. I've told 5 or 6 of my male friends about it and each one says the same thing, "I don't want to know if something like that is wrong". We are our own worst enemy sometimes.

Sounds like genetics are the biggest player here in this case. Get those A1C's checked folks.

Sure glad you caught that in time! I had a friend who called me one day because his riding mower crapped out on him and wanted to know if I would bring my lawn tractor over to let him finish mowing and use my trailer to take his mower to the shop.
When I pulled up to the curb I could see him lying next to the mower and I thought he was still working on it but no, he was dead.
His Dad and brother all died young from a heart attack and so did he.
Genetics play a huge part in all of this...take care of yourself.
