Think You're Safe From Heart Disease?
By R. Todd Hurst, MD, FACC, FASE
Rob Steinberg never thought he would have a heart attack.
Or, at least, not at 45 years old – and certainly not when he was in the best shape of his life.
Rob had completed his 3rd Ironman triathlon, finishing near the top of his age group, and was training for his 4th. Focused on trimming critical minutes off of his time, he noticed his throat felt very dry during strenuous parts of his training. He ignored it for a few weeks, but the sensation wasn’t going away; in fact, it was getting worse. Rob started feeling the throat dryness earlier in his bike rides and even started to feel it when he wasn’t training. He mentioned his symptoms to his wife, who insisted that he see a doctor.
