      There a bunch of different medications for people with heart problems, but sadly I don’t think there’s something that will absolutely prevent a heart attack, especially if you don’t know the person has heart problems before that.

      the information on this one is a bit controversial as taking a pill daily to stop a disease that we can’t predict when it will happen or how likely it is to happen is hard… there’s some that believe an asprin a day helps or a drug called statins but these have side effects too
