Sudden Death at 33 y.o.

In May 2005, I had a STEMI and sudden death from a plaque rupture in my
LAD. I am a 34 year old male. I was incredibly lucky that the v. fib.
happened when I was already at the hospital. After defibriliation,
they saved me with TNK thromolysis then immediate PCI with two stents.

Over the past months, I had struggled to deal with my new reality
(although there were no discernable symptoms prior to the event, and
there have not been any symptoms since).

Does anyone know of resources for young MI survivors? In my rehab
program, I am by far the youngest person there. Further, all the books
I have read on the subject focus on older people. While I understand
that this a reasonable considering that 1) the vast majority people
with CAD are over the age of 45, and 2) the info applies to CAD at any
age, there must be something out there that is more germane to my age
cohort.

Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
