“We haven’t talked about it. I don’t want to,”
“You know my dad passed away from [heart disease], so I don’t want to bring it up. But he lived to be in his eighties.”

“And I suddenly felt what I had heard someone on a TV interview years ago, a woman says that she, leading up to a heart attack, had felt like an elephant was pressing on her chest.”

Susan always has been eating healthy and her blocked arteries were due to her genes and not the diet, she said.

“This was a DNA,”
My dad, my wonderful dad gave me more apparently than his Italian coloring! He had calcium deposits in his arteries.”
“Because I never had any health issues, my whole family, we all thought I had all my mother’s genes, and it turns out that I got my dad’s heart genes.”
