Most executives who have a heart attack did not see it coming. Their blood work looked normal. They were still performing. Nothing felt urgent.
After 20 years in cardiology and more than 10,000 patients, I can tell you the warning signs were there. They almost always are. The problem is that high performers are exceptionally good at explaining them away.
In this episode, I'm going to walk you through the 5 warning signs executives consistently miss before a cardiac event, why each one matters more than you think, and one concrete thing you can do tonight to start reversing the pattern.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED
What are the early warning signs of a heart attack in executives?
The five most consistent patterns are: inability to mentally switch off, gradual changes in sleep quality, abandoning healthy habits, slower or less confident decision making, and quiet social withdrawal. None of these shows up on a standard corporate health screen.
Can chronic stress actually cause a heart attack?
Yes. Chronic stress keeps blood pressure elevated, prevents cardiovascular recovery, and sustains stress hormone levels that accelerate arterial damage over time. The cumulative effect on the heart can be significant, even when individual stress events feel manageable.
What is one thing I can do tonight to reduce my heart attack risk?
One hour before bed, put your phone away and spend 10 minutes doing something that signals to your body that the day is over. A walk, a conversation, a few minutes outside. The activity matters less than the signal. Sleep quality typically begins to improve within days.
