A member asked:
Are heart attacks for semi athletic minors possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are several conditions which could cause heart attacks in minors. Fortuitously, these are rare. Congenital coronary anomaly, prolonged qt syndrome, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, brugada syndrome, arrhythmogenic rv cardiomyopathy, and wolff-parkinson white syndrome are conditions which would fall into the class of potentially life threatening heart conditions in the young.
