My husband, 49 undergone bypass surgery 3 years back in Medanta hospital Gurgaon. Before that he angioplasty twice, but his body didn't accept stent. Heart problem is his family history. Now he is perfectly all right maintaining perfect body weight with daily swimming and very active. Now I would like to ask about my son who is 25 having slim body built and active in nature. Is he at risk of having heart problem? If yes then what type of precautions should he take? How can it be prevented? Please suggest. Thanks and regards.
