Probably life style is the cause. |

So it's a developed condition rather than a contracted disease, not so? Could this be yet another media-fication of facts? |

No, what I meant to say is that there might be conditions, that exist in developed countries, contributing to develop heart diseases. Also recent immigrants have difficulties in adjusting to new environment. They need to learn a new language. They need to adjust to new culture. Weather is different. Etc. etc. That can also increase their stress level as well. |
