      So far I’ve been able to find out that we seem to have weaker hearts when we’re young but stronger hearts as we grow up. But when we get too old our hearts start to give up and become weaker again. I’m still working out why they become weaker and more importantly why does our heart stop beating and give up so often – even in a healthy individual (such as a recent footballer).
