Sorry - height has not been demonstrated to be associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (or heart attacks).  The Framingham Heart Study is the seminal study from where we get most of our current knowledge about risk factors for heart disease, and height was NOT a significant risk factor.  But some particularly tall individuals may have Marfan syndrome which is associated, as someone else mentioned, with ascending aortic aneurysms.  In Marfan patients, these aneurysms are at high risk of dissecting (which is what happened to John Ritter).  Dissections feel and present like heart attacks in many ways and are often mislabelled as "heart attacks".  Patients will typically complain of severe chest pain.  Dissection can lead to heart attack, tamponade, stroke, rupture, and death.  I think this is probably what you are talking about.

Proper terminology would be Napoleon Syndrome,and yes it's possible.That's not to say that all short people suffer from this,but there is some scientific evidence that this exists.

*gasp* thanks for your details.  you are the first one I encountered to give his case with good details.\ndon't worry mister. 120/94 AIN'T that alarming. \nquestion: have you eaten any foods high in (bad) cholesterol?? fatty pork chops?? seafoods?? chicken skin?? JUST BEFORE THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION??\n\nthat is all I can say viewing that your "latest check-up" is PAST 1 YEAR.  I think you should do it again, this time.\n\nTIP: GO SEE DOC.  AVOID FATTY FOODS BEFORE EXAMINATION. THAT BE IT. \n\nJOMAR S.T. NDGM '96\nEDIT: i saw your addition of details today.  you are not suffering from hypertension. you are just within the normal limits, however, that chest should be checked for further data.  might be just stress or rib cage "deflation/inflation" after hours of steadiness.

What are you talking about?  I love asking advice for what to do in the event of a heart attack from anyone I can, especially strangers.  They've never let me down.

This is a ridiculous question that makes me think you have not even tried.  The problem is not being able to find anything rather how to fit so much information on one page.  Check out this link from the Mayo Clinic.  It is very good at even defining what you mean by "heart disease."  Good luck.\n\nhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cardiovascular-disease/HB00032
