your dad was a brave man to keep going and you too for supporting him. A test yesterday 'suggests' I have CAD in thrre arteries and face the alternatives of mediation, more catherters or finally bypass. I'd be grateful if you would say what route your father took.

And not all heart attacks kill. My Dad had 4 heart attacks in his lifetime. They did a lot of damage to his heart (muscle tissue died from the lack of blood flow) but he continued on. Finally died from lung cancer (thank you cigarettes, but that's another story).
Not too bad of a theory........but unfortunately, the heart doesn't quite work that way. The coronary arteries are OUTSIDE the heart; they are on top of the heart muscle, not inside of the heart. When the arteries get clogged, they can not deliver blood to the heart muscle; that is what a heart attack is and that is how your relitives died. Their hearts did not explode; although that can happen if the heart wall is thinned out too much. That is actually how my father died.
