millions and millions of people have heart attacks and survive - David Letterman and Bill Clinton both had heart bypass surgery, they would have had heart attacks eventually if they hadn't.

i have an uncle who when was 55, he had a massive heart attack, doctors said it destroyed most of his heart muscle, once heart muscle is damaged it can't get better. My uncle Lou could have got very scared and led a very limited life, but he didn't, went into rehab in a big way and is still practicing law, running and skiing and he's now gotta be close to 70. Seen all four daughters get married and has a bunch of grand kids.

Even in the case of having a bad heart attack, if u get to a hospital fast there are drugs that can really help mitigate the damage caused.

it's very good your Dad is being monitored before anything has happened. they'll work him up and decide what is best for him.
