"I had a heart attack two years ago."

"After resting briefly on the sofa, the big hit came: when standing up, I felt an incredible pain in the chest, a heat wave that felt that I was burning from the inside, and intense difficulty breathing – I was having a heart attack.

Since the infarct I have decided to make a critical change: less stress in my professional life. Today I only build furniture that I design myself for private customers, and concentrate both professionally and privately on the good things life has to offer. I now have a new quality of life.

The best advice that I can give: perform a yearly heart check starting at a certain age, and have your carotid and aortic arteries checked".

Avoid additional damage following a heart attack by performing regular checks.
