Can a 13 year old have a heard attack?
Although it is not considered "normal" within the medical community for a 13 year old to have a heart attack, it ISpossible for anyone of any age, ethnicity, heritage, or gender to have a heart attack. However, when I hear of a young person having a heart attack, I would suspect that they have had heart and health problems throughout their life. Whether or not they knew of their heart condition before hand, is another story.
