Wealth and Attack Heart
I think this has to do with quick access to a doctor that is trained to identify and save a person from a heart attack. I know there are places in other countries that a doctor can be a four or more hour drive to get to. In that amount of time many suffering a heart attack will die.

KN,
You are spot on here. And it's not just getting to doctor… it's even getting a first responder there. I mean, they say if you can get a first responder (EMT) to a heart attack victim within ten minutes his/her chances go up dramatically. Many of these poor countries don't have the infrastructure to support that and some don't even have the first responders.
