    Canzoneri was also roughly 50 when his ticker kicked-off........

    What makes me flip and freak is how an athlete who gets plenty of excercise has major plack built-up in his arteries prior or at age 50.........

    Freddie Welsh. They say alcohol abuse was the real reason for his heart failure. The information is conflicting.

    MR BILL sometimes in heart disease your arteries are clean from plaque, but it could be defective valves, or irregular heart rates causing the disease..At ane rate at 41 ,it is rare...b.b.
