No not necessarily. There is the risk. A person in this situation should evaluate why the attack happened. Was it a clot? Then aspirin daily plus fish oil and a healthy diet very well may prevent additional clots. Was it clogged arteries? Then drastic diet change plus exercise needed. Was it a defect of the heart? Then that defect needs to be explored to find out if it can be repaired or treated with diet or perhaps a heart transplant needed.

not neccessarily but the risk is significantly higher. When suffering from heart attack at such an early stage, there is very likely a significant risk factor involved, like: 1. high cholesterol, 2. smoking, 3. diabetes, 4. high blood pressure, 5. overweight or obesity, 6. extremely low exercise level, or the two of which you cannot influence which are 7. family history of premature heart disease and 8. being male. (the risk factor are in arranged in descending importance). All one can do is limit the risk factors you can do something about, take the meds and you can still be knocked off at zebra crossing at the are of 92. All the best!

If he does nothing, his chance of another heart attack is high. He is at high risk of not surviving the coming attacks. Even with bypass operation, the arteries will continue to clog up with cholesterol. Likely hi cholesterol. Familial. (hereditary). Or has diabetes mellitus, smokes, overwt.+/-, hi BP, hi sugar, butter, egg yolk diet. Get on vytorin immediately. Get the cholesterol down, esp the LDL. and get HDL up. If it is the good HDL. Vytorin is a combo of statin(blocks cholesterol production in the liver), and zetia, blocks reabsorption of cholesterol from the gut. As well as clearing all the above risks as much as possible. My cholesterol went from 210 to 155 to 108 over 2 1/2 years on zetia and then the combo (with a statin). It may even pull some of the clogging cholesterol out of the arterial walls.

If a person sincerely follows his doctor's advice, he/she will usually do well. The patient must also seek psychiatric care if that is necessary. "Anxiety" and "undue stress" play serious roles in causing "heart attacks" as well. This is why I made the suggestion about seeing another kind of doctor. Even if there is a family history of "heart conditions," the appropriate treatment for this condition can often stamp out that "inherited" bad luck. Modern medicines and new methods can change "family histories" to a more "positive" longer living status. I wish you well. Peace, Love and God Bless.
