There's plenty of people (in every competitive industry from startups to consulting) who work until 11pm everyday without having heart attacks, presumably there were other factors at play here.

If you don't have congenital heart problems and you're under 40, the panic attacks and dissociative episodes and visual flashing will hit you before you have a cardiac event.

I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but it could be due to the type of work he was doing. Until I know what sort of work he was doing, I'm not going to judge or compare it to me working on software until 11pm every day.

He works for a creative PR agency, it's not as if he's going to be hauling steel.
