But after he was banished in 4x11, his body was under "normal" conditions for 6 weeks, for the first time since he became the dar one. I think his heart issues could be a consequence of being a 300 years old body. Humans are not supposed to live that long. As the Dark One, tho, he didn't age. It doesn't make sense in my mind that he would have heart issues just because he's centuries old. Did his heart beat all that time? Of course, but it's like he's still the 40/50ish year old man he was when he stabbed Zoso.

I'm wondering if it has something to do with the death and revival... or if perhaps we're all missing the mark on it.
