flag Chronic stress is now seen as a key, overlooked heart disease risk in Australia, as shown by pilot Matthew Gray’s survival after three severely blocked arteries.

flag Chronic stress is being recognized as a major, underappreciated risk factor for heart disease in Australia, according to Heart Research Australia. flag Former Qantas pilot Matthew Gray, 57, survived a life-threatening heart event after experiencing symptoms like fatigue, shoulder pain, and chest pressure during physical activity. flag Diagnosed with three blocked arteries—two over 95% blocked, including a critical one—he underwent emergency stenting. flag Since then, he manages his health through medication, annual testing, weight loss, exercise, and stress reduction. flag Gray attributes his survival to early awareness and the organization’s advocacy, urging others to address chronic stress, especially from financial pressures, as part of heart health prevention.
