Do you see a lot of males in 20's & 30's with heart disease? or having a lot of heart attacks? also if you do, do they present many risk factors?

Uncommon: It's very unusual for anyone in their 20's or 30's to have heart attacks. As we get older, the risk increases. Risk factors may be present, but other rare conditions may be present making the typical risk factors less of a factor.
