Heart of the matter: what you need to know about cardiovascular disease.
One night in 1999, Gerald Triplett awoke with severe chest pain. It felt like he had pulled a muscle.
He got out of bed and walked around, hoping the pain would go away. But nothing worked. Triplett realized something wasn't right. He woke his wife, and they called 911.
A few hours later, Triplett was flown by helicopter to the University of Michigan's cardiac care center.
There, doctors diagnosed the otherwise healthy 64-year-old with the most lethal disease in America: coronary artery disease. One of the arteries that feeds blood to his heart muscle had become blocked with plaque, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
