It really can be a silent killer. I know someone who's mother was in her 50s. She was thin, fit, active and seemingly healthy. She would enter in races and such, to give you an idea of how fit she was compared to others in their 50s. Now, she wasn't exactly a professional runner or anything, but certainly did it more than others at her age.
Well she died of a heart attack a few months ago during a workout...
