The death of NBC newsman Tim Russert has left many people stunned.

Russert died from an enlarged heart. Cholesterol buildup in a major artery caused it to rupture and led to his death. I think while many were shocked to lose a man known for being “persistent but civil” he was perceived as a common man with a common man’s disease that took his life at an early age.

Even more shocking is how many people — more than a million in the

United States — have heart attacks every year, often without warnings or symptoms, according to the American Heart Association. More than a third of them die.

Russert’s death has proved that heart attacks are not easy to predict.
