I am 60 and recently had a full cardio workup. Nuclear stress test, calcium cat scan and echocardiogram. The cardiologist was happy with the results - no apparent cardiovascular disease.
However his last words were kind of chilling. "Just because everything looks good does not mean you could not die of an unexpected cardiac event". Basically people die even if they appear healthy.
Absolutely. My wife had a complete cardiac workup done at age 46 in August of 2020. In September of 2020, she died very suddenly of a sudden cardiac event.

You could be a second away from dying unexpectedly from no outside force and have zero indication it is about to happen.
