Erik G 		How could children suffer heart attacks and similar coronary diseases?
I'm wondering how could children- and I mean children under 18- suffer heart attacks and similar coronary diseases. The question came to me after hearing that heart disease can strike- and often kill- children, which could be a saddening loss in families. I've heard about it in advertising on the American Heart Association (correct?). Until recently, I thought heart attacks only happen to adults. So....can you tell me how could children suffer heart attacks and similar coronary diseases?
Share and Enjoy!

Hi Eric. There is a congenital gene defect that leads to severe elevation of homocysteine in the blood and urine (the condition is called Homocystenuria) that causes early death (in childhood or teens) by heart attacks or strokes in its victims. Treatment usually requires high doses of Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) to lower the homocsyteine levels.

I have a 9 year old son who has a IGA Nephropathy which is a conditon of filtering units in kidneys. He has high blood pressure as a result and we have to be careful because sometimes his blood pressure gets very high and essentially he very well could have a heart attack or stroke from this. And by the way, he is not obese. He's quite the opposite. He is anorexic according to his pediatricians.
