TEN-TIME Wimbledon doubles champion Todd Woodbridge has suffered a heart attack aged just 51.
The Aussie described the shock incident as a "wake-up call" even for the fittest of middle-aged people and declared "it can happen to anybody".

Woodbridge was exercising when he started to feel chest pains.
The ten-time Wimbledon doubles champ told the Herald: "It was last Thursday, I tried to keep my routine having travelled to the US Open and London and I was just exercising and had chest pains and every symptom when you look up Google – full sweats and I felt awful.
"I had a little heart episode that goes down as a mild heart attack which is a bit of a shock to me.
"I consider (I) lead a pretty good fit healthy lifestyle – I keep active, I eat well, I do all the right things, I enjoy doing that.
"It's been a wake-up call to me to make sure I look after myself.
"If it can happen to me it shows that it can happen to anybody."
At 51, Woodbridge is a year younger than Shane Warne when he had his fatal attack.
Days after Warne's passing, another high profile Aussie athlete, former AFL star Dean Wallis, 52, suffered a major heart attack but survived following life-saving surgery.

Yep. Hope he got the jab, or this would have been MUCH worse.
“Woodbridge suffered a shock heart attack despite leading a healthy lifestyle “
Maybe getting Pfizered isn’t consistent with a healthy lifestyle
Well it depends. Was it a 'BIT OF A SHOT'?
Doctors are baffled
First question: HAS HE BEEN JABBED LATELY?
Hey, if he got the shot, he is safe from hurricanes according to our president.
Insert picture of Ostrich and millions of people all with their heads stuck in the sand.
Or or could be that the most common age for presentation of coronary artery disease is in the sixth decade of life and the most common presentation is sudden cardiac death (malignant dysrhythmia) and the most common risk factor is genetic.
Health lifestyle is a minor risk motivator for CAD and AMI
We have here someone who fits the picture of having a heart attack and presenting at the exact age and time one would expect this disease to emerge
The Pavlovian argument many here will knee jerk only reduces the legitimacy of actual data as the the risks of covid vaccination.
“If it can happen to me it shows that it can happen to anybody.”

Just can’t admit it. I won’t get a vaxxed induce heart attack because I’m not vaxxed
lol
Yes because 50 something year old people never suffered heart attacks prior to 2019
Just out of curiosity, when you see the words heart or cardiac do you start drooling?
In this case it turns out that you are the one with the knee jerk pavlovian argument
safe and effective

It’s working. Sadly.
