He had no idea. When he was 32, he fell over at the gym and passed out. He ended up having open heart surgery for it. Now he's on medication for the rest of his life.

He's fine. Exercises every single day (one of those biking types).

But it's one of those conditions that can just fly under the radar until problems arise.
