Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

It's not unheard of: but pretty infrequent for someone with your profile to have a heart attack. There are other invasive and noninvasive cardiac tests that could be performed to alleviate your concern. I am certain your health care provider can help to reassure you. Make an appointment and openly express your concerns. Then follow his/her advise.
