BOTH men had silent heart artery disease but only one escaped the clutches of death. Mr A , head of a public-listed company, was in his 60s, was careful with his diet and exercised regularly. His doctors had not mentioned the presence of heart artery disease and hence, he never had a scan of his heart arteries.
On that fateful day, he had just finished his daily routine but somehow felt more tired than usual. He went to bed and never woke up. The autopsy confirmed significant heart artery disease as the cause of his sudden death.
A different fate
