Golf and the Heart: When Eisenhower had a heart attack during his presidency, it wasn't his former 4 pack a day smoking habit that caught the Zeitgeist's attention, but his golf habit. His cardiologist reassured the nation:
White attempted to dispel concern that the golf Eisenhower was playing before his attack or the high altitude might have contributed to his infarction. He said, 'We see attacks come frequently at sea level and in people who never played any golf. My own feeling is that golf has been wrongly blamed and that people who play golf and had an attack at the age of 55 might have had an attack at 45 if they hadn't played golf.' posted by Sydney on
