I had one when I was 27. I have a bad heart valve and a piece broke off and caused a blockage. No pain. I had friends over that night (the 8th of October). I felt a little odd and things sounded funny. I opened my mouth to tell them something was wrong and couldn't speak. It was my dominant side - right. My motor came back fairly quick within the next couple of months but my memory was severely impaired. I would make a plate at dinner time and lose it before I sat down to eat. I would start to say something and forget what I was going to say half way through the sentence.
My short term memory is still a little funky. When I play board games I have to count the dots on the dice each time as the pattern doesn't mean anything anymore (they call it subitizing). When I am asked to spell something I get a G and Q mixed up verbally although I can write it out perfectly.
I was one lucky kid. That was 15 years ago. I told my folks I was glad it was me as I had no children to worry about me and I was younger than them so I recovered most of my faculties pretty quick. I take pills everyday to keep my blood pressure very low so no more pieces come off of that valve. Someday I will have it replaced when it fails more seriously.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
