A member asked:

Is it that rare for a 27-30 year old male to have a heart attack? does it make it even rarer if they had recent normal ekg/stress/echo?no fam hist

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, rare: Hi. Yes it's rare for a 27-30 yo male to have a heart attack (MI). And, yes, it's even rarer if he has no family history of premature MI and a recently negative stress echo; EKG is not a good screening test for risk of MI, but can often diagnose a current or past MI.
