Other than humans are there animals that suffer heart attack or hypertension?

Answer:
Animals with heart can have hypertension and heart attacks just like humans. Horses, dogs,cats among others. Yes, that is for real.

There was a study treatment with stem cell therapy on pigs who had heart attacks so it means pigs can have heart attack.

All Animals can suffer from it.

I think almost any animal can suffer a heart attack. I know hamsters can.

---

Of course. I had a dog when I was a kid that had a heart attack.

---

Any animal with a heart can have a heart attack. (not all animals have hearts, some have open circulatory systems) overweight animals can suffer from hypertension, which would increase their risk for a heart attack

---

Yes, under certain circumstances all animals can suffer a heartattack, hypertension, diabetic, asthma..this list goes on and on.

I didnt heard any animals suffering from heart attack or hypertension. But I observed in one poultry house where broiler chicken is raised. Chickens are fed non-stop in an almost congested area. All they have to do is to eat day and night without exercise for 45 days. They are forced to grow so that after 45 days they are dressed and sold. Their body swells with fat that they are weighing from 1.5 to 2 kilogram each. During that period, I observed that some of them died instantly while eating. They dont have a sign of any sickness except that they are very fat. My opinion is that they died of cardiac arrest.

Yes, especially those little cocker spaniels (paranoid creatures, they are) and those humming birds.

---

The answer is yes.But the real question is do they go to heaven?

---

Most mammals can experience these issues.
