Childhood heart atta: Just as more children with congenital heart defects are living into adulthood , more and more and younger and younger children are developing coronary artery disease - the kind that stems from Insulin resistance, obesity, inflammation, inactivity, and a whole host of poor lifestyle factors! I couldn't find the exact number for you. Just know that it shouldn't be happening, and it is.
