It is definitely possible. See the article below about an 18 year old national champion athlete who died suddenly from undiagnosed heart problems. ``Of mixed Irish and Iranian parentage, the 18-year-old was found dead on the floor of the bathroom one morning by his twin sister. Darius was a healthy, active sportsman and student, full of the vigour of life. "He had participated in the world fencing championships, he was Irish champion, he was part of the team, a brilliant student," says Mary. ``

Yes but is not as common as say the 50+ age bracket. I had problems with palpitations of the heart when I was 18/19 years old. I had to have ECG's, and consultations with the doctor/cardiologist. I even went to hospital on one occasion because I had got myself into a panic! So yes, you can have disease or problems of your heart at any age. But it is more common in the older patient due to lifestyle issues such as wrong diet and lack of excercise, such as coronary heart disease etc So don't go worrying! If your an in shape muscular built 19 year old, then your doing great! Hope this helps?
