These are the types of patients who come to the catheterizarion lab to get their arteries checked because they complain of chest pain or shortness of breath or failed a stress test. Many will say they don’t understand why they will get these symptoms when in reality they weigh well over the normal weight, smoke, eat crap, etc. Sure, maybe for some there is a chance it could be “hereditary” because there are fit/healthy people like athletes who come in and have diseased arteries. But the majority really needs to just get off their asses and change their lifestyle. So many patients have no self awareness it’s mind boggling.
