When Your Own Heart Becomes a Ticking Clock
A routine chest CT scan at forty-five revealed an unsettling truth: coronary artery calcifications lurking in the heart of a cardiologist who knew exactly what they meant. Standard risk calculators offered reassurance-just a 2% chance of heart attack within ten years. But numbers don't tell the whole story. With two grandfathers who died suddenly from cardiac events and South Asian heritage stacking the odds, this wasn't just medical data-it was a preview of a likely ending. Here's the uncomfortable reality: the organ keeping you alive might also be plotting your demise. This fist-sized muscle beats nearly three billion times over a lifetime, yet it's been the world's leading killer since 1910. How did humanity's most romanticized organ become its greatest threat? Unlike any other organ, the heart operates independently-pumping blood to itself without relying on the brain. Ancient Egyptians preserved it during mummification while Aztecs offered beating hearts to their gods. Even today, families struggle accepting brain death when a heart continues its rhythmic dance. This self-sufficiency has elevated the heart beyond mere biology into the realm of symbol and meaning.
