    It depends whether you change your ways. I worked with a man who ate fast food every day and never exercised. He has a heart attack at 40. He changed nothing about his life. I doubt if he is still alive. 

    People need to eat healthy food and get regular exercise. Being overweight and under stress can kill you. If a person who has a heart attack cuts down on red meat, walks every day and maintains a healthy weight, he or she can live a lot longer.

    After surviving a heart attack, you're probably certain of this: You don't want another one. Yet, about one in five people who have had a heart attack will be readmitted to the hospital for a second one within five years. Each year, there are about 335,000 recurrent heart attacks in the United States.

    --  It is quite common for a person to have several heart attacks.

    --  My mother had 3 heart attacks over two years and died from the third back in July 1972.

    I had a heart attack at 21, and haven't had another since. I have a lot of panic attacks though.

    That stat is available online and recurrence depends almost entirely on dietary changes.
