Seriously? 52 years old.

Heart disease is so preventable.....the age is stunning.

Yes, people do have heart attacks at any age. A little compassion is appreciated no matter who it is. You have no idea what his lifestyle is and if it was perfect in your eyes, he could still have a heart attack.

Blaming someone for being sick is reprehensible...

lifestyle is not always the culprit in a heart attack. there have been many who ate right, exercised, and lived a very healthy lifestyle, to no avail. who knows, it may run in his family. lots of factors to consider without jumping to conclusions.

I wish him a full recovery. While I don't follow his career, no one except him really knows his lifestyle or health concerns. Right now, the most important thing is for him to follow his doctor's orders and do everything that he can to get well and stay welll.

Studies don’t lie.

Modern day illnesses can be prevented.

@sidsmom , from what I understand, Susan Lucci ate extremely well, exercised daily, and was thin yet she found out she has heart disease. Her father also had it, I believe, at a young age. While you can do a lot to try to prevent trouble, sometimes genetics prevail.

Earlobe Crease (Frank’s Sign): Risk Factor

sidsmom — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 23:07:34 GMT

Saw this on Twitter....never heard of the earlobe crease risk factor.

Maybe his body was warning him.....there’s an obvious earlobe crease.

Interesting.

Hmmm, I have a defective gene that makes me slightly more prone to blood clots than the general public. The only reason I found out was because my grandmother died of a blood clot and my father had them so prior to a surgery my surgeon decided to err on the side of caution and have me tested. I could tell the hematologist thought I was kinda crazy by the way he looked at me and then told me I would have to have the defective gene on both sides of the family for it to affect me. Well, I don't know if it was the same gene, but he had to eat a little crow. Not preventable short of not being born.

BTW, strokes are often caused by blood clots.

Prayers for Luke and his family.

He is so young I sure hope he can have some recovery...how scary.

It reminded me of a super sad situation when I was looking at Assisted Living places for my Dad. I was going to put him in a beautiful place and he would have had a roommate...the roommate was only in his mid 40's and had suffered a massive stroke! He was in a wheelchair and didn't speak anymore but could get around somewhat and liked things on the quite side. The back story was he for several yrs had his father in this same exact place for the end of his life and was a wonderful son who visited daily his father. THe father passed away and suddenly the son had this massive stroke....he wanted to stay there for his care. He knew everyone and had become comfortable there.

I wanted to just break down and CRY that day....and here I was only about 5yrs older then this man and all I could think of was how life can hit anyone with a curve ball out of nowhere. I don't know his diet or lifestyle but he was a thin young guy and it stunned me to see him there with all the elderly patients in their 80's and beyond.

While I think good eating habits and exercising with no smoking and drinking can go a along way there are people that things happen to in life that is out of their control.

Please be kind to others....it could be you that something happens too....I pray he recovers and IF there is something he can do to help then I hope that is the case. Just as I would hope for anyone out there.

@tsavorite It just reminds me that you never know what's in store for you and that the kindness you show to others may just come back to you, especially when you really need it. Thanks for sharing.

@Sooner

I hope not either.

But I’m going to fight tooth & nail, in my power, not to let this happen.

I still have control.

@Cookie2025 LOL I cracked up laughing at your online name here!

I have also heard about the creases in the earlobe....very interesting there does seem to be a connection. But I keep thinking about my Grandparents who didn't drink or smoke...didn't eat a special diet or exercise and they had creases in the ear lobes too. They both lived until 95yrs old....grandpa had a pacemaker put in for heart rhythm issues in his mid 80's....grandmother had nothing. She did pass away at 95 from heart failure. They both lived independently until age 92...so really not bad at all if this crease issue is to be something. I am not sure....I mean as we age we ALL get creases and wrinkles...some more then others due to sunbathing...genetics...who know's for sure!
