Yes. You can have a heart attack at 21. Unlike heart attacks in older people, heart attacks in the young are mostly due to congenital or acquired disease, and/or drug use.

Yes, it is possible. It gets a little worse odds as you get older, as you know, but heart attack really can happen at any age, depending on a lot of factors. One is people who trash their bodies with dangerous chemical potions of various kinds.

yes, young people can get heart attacks, and more and more young people are experiencing them. the younger generations are setting themselves up for heart disease as they get more sedentary and obese. lack of exercise and foods high in saturated, trans fats, and cholesteral are to blame. diabetes is even more prevalent in children now. some heart diseases are hereditary and can cause heart attacks and strokes in young people. diabetes can cause heart attacks and strokes as well. so, eat healthy and exercise.

Yes, and the younger you are, the harder it is on you. When you get older, your body starts building a collateral system, that helps take over the duties of the arteries.
