Television pitchman Billy Mays likely died of a heart attack in his sleep, but further tests are needed to be sure of the cause of death, a medical examiner said Monday. (June 29)
Fame often divides among people. Famous people enjoy many privileges that others do not, but the privilege of avoiding heart disease is not one of them.
A famous person with heart disease faces the same risk factors as those who are not famous. A famous person with heart disease experiences the same symptoms, and can die of heart disease. The famous do not escape heart disease, known by physicians as coronary artery disease (CAD).
Examples of Famous People with Heart Disease
A famous person with heart disease who recently (March 2007) underwent triple heart bypass surgery is Regis Philbin well-known United States TV host. He had experienced typical heart disease symptoms such as chest pains and shortness of breath, despite having angioplasty 14 years ago. He joined a long list of famous people with heart disease. Here are a mere dozen of them.
* Bill Clinton – quadruple bypass surgery in 2004
* David Letterman – quadruple bypass surgery in 2000
* Larry King – heart attack and bypass surgery in 1987
* Mike Ditka – heart attack in 1988
* Tommy Lasorda – heart attack in 1996
* Dick Cheney – at least 4 heart attacks
* Phyllis Diller – heart attack in 1999
* Elizabeth Taylor – congestive heart failure
* Victoria Gotti – heart disease from age 16
* Ma Ji – died of heart disease in 2006
* Alfredo Di Stefano – heart attack in 2005
* Sir Ranulph Fiennes – heart attack and bypass surgery
Heart Disease Treatment
A famous person with heart disease may be able to afford the best treatment available. Every effort will likely be made not only to save their lives but to return them to the fullest possible health.
Advantages of Heart Disease in the Famous
A famous person with heart disease can be a highly-recognized spokesperson for companies that offer heart disease medications, diet plans, and other treatments aimed at reducing heart disease. It is said that immediately after a famous person has a heart attack or major heart surgery, hundreds of people schedule physical examinations – especially men.
The heart disease is not, of course, an advantageous experience for the famous person undergoing it. It can awaken them to their need for lifestyle changes, but other than that, it is just as excruciating for the famous as for those who have no claim to fame.
No One Is Invincible
Whether it is a famous person with heart disease or a person who is famous only to his or her family, no one is invincible. That may be one of the biggest lessons to be learned from hearing of yet another famous person with heart disease. Another big lesson is that we should all heed the multitude of warnings, and take action to prevent heart disease in ourselves and our loved ones.

Life-Threatening Lung Disease Often Undiagnosed Top Physician and Patient Discuss Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) Approximately 100000 people in the United States and 200000 patients worldwide suffer from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), an incurable, life-threatening disease often misdiagnosed as other pulmonary conditions such as emphysema and asthma. PAH is a debilitating disease characterized changes in the blood vessels in the lungs leading to high pulmonary arterial pressures. Patients with PAH suffer from shortness of breath as the heart struggles to pump against these high pressures. If left untreated, previous estimates suggest that the average patient would not be expected to live more than 2.8 years beyond the time of diagnosis, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. Despite the availability of a variety of therapies, PAH is often not diagnosed in a timely manner, largely because classic PAH symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain can be attributed to more common medical conditions. Dr. Aaron Waxman of Massachusetts General Hospital shares insight on the symptoms of PAH, provides details on the physical impact of this disease and mentions how often the disease is misdiagnosed. He also talks about the new sense of hope as research has progressed and multiple treatment therapies have become available. He will be joined by his patient, Norma Morey. Ten years ago, Norma …
