Running three times a week but he still got heart blockage

According to AsiaOneNews:

He was eating his way to a heart attack and might even have died suddenly – but a health screening saved his life.

Mr Victor Rodrigues, 59, a real estate company owner, said: ‘The doctor said if the blockages in my arteries hadn’t been discovered, I could get a stroke or suddenly drop dead while I was out running.’

He had gone for a medical check-up in October 2000 when the doctor found his cholesterol level very high. An angiogram and an exercise stress test on the treadmill were recommended at once.

The test results showed his heart’s main artery was already 80 per cent blocked. MrRodrigues was wheeled into the operating theatre for a heart bypass operation. That was when doctors found two other blockages in other arteries.
