Heart attack, not good

edited November 2020 in The Clubhouse
My chest and both arms had been hurting for 3 days but it would t ease up at times. Well it took a turn for the worse yesterday. I went to our local hospital and the doctor said it was a really bad one. They put me in a helicopter and flew me to Nashville. Getting good care but a bit concerned. They said my heart was only pumping at around 25.%. They moved me to ICU and put a catheter in my neck going to my l heart. They said this was a STEMI type and it was the widow maker.

I would appreciate any prayers or positive thoughts.

    What’s the catheter from your neck to your heart? A central line? A swan glanz?

    The one thing that worries me is you said 25% ejection fraction....

    Widow maker survivor here 1.5 years. You will leave there with some stents and a life vest. Hopefully after rehab you get that infraction rate over 35 to avoid a implant defibrillator.

    You got this, pulling for you man.

    Other; S60'S, M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    Oh, Listen here mister. We got no way of understandin' this world. But we got as much sense of this bird flyin in the sky. Now there is a lot that bird don't know, but it don't change the fact that the world is happening to him all the same.
