Sally T asked:


My paternal grandmother lived to be 83 years old despite having coronary artery disease and chronic atrial fibrillation for “years and years” as stated on her death certificate. Her official cause of death was stated as “congestive heart failure”. What I don’t understand is how my grandmother could live a relatively long life with her heart problems, yet my dad died from a massive heart attack at only age 53?
