Kiwi...your post misses the point....THE STARTLING FACTOR IS THAT THESE KIDS ALREADY HAD CVD AT AGE 22.
1.You are looking a dead servicemen in Korea"...
These kids were 22 year olds, who were killed in action.

2. "How many of them actually died of heart attacks?"....
These kids had CVD at 22 years of age... with 10% of them having severe occlusion(i.e.90% occlusion) of coronaries at the time of their death. They had no way of knowing that had CVD.... some of them SEVERE CVD.


3. "This was before statins were invented and HeFH ( very high LDL cholesterol) was identified as a risk factor"....
These kids were draftees with no known risk factors.

CVD is ubiquitous in adults...something, which is NOT well understood...and that is why CVD is all too common a reason for death.

You do not need to wait until a person has a heart attack before you start treating CVD.
