My flu-like symptoms
turned out to be
a heart attack.
NAME: HEIDI F.
AGE: 60
HOMETOWN: Woodmere, NY
CONDITION: Cardiac arrest
PROCEDURE: Implantable cardioverter
defibrillator (ICD)
LIFE BEFORE HEART ATTACK: I was getting ready for
my grandsons birthday, when all of a sudden
I became weak. I thought I was coming down
with the flu. Before going to sleep, I called my
son and told him that something didnt feel
right. We took no chances and called 911. The
paramedics arrived and within minutes, I was in
cardiac arrest.
I woke up a few days
LIFE AFTER HEART ATTACK:
later and after many tests the doctors
determined that the upper part of my heart
wasnt sending signals to the bottom part to
pump blood, and thats why my heart stopped.
I was fitted with an ICD to treat my irregular
heartbeat. After the procedure, Im back to
normal, Im energetic, and I feel great.
WHY CHOOSE SOUTH NASSAU? The entire cardiac
team was amazing. No amount of words
will ever help me express how thankful I am.
Theyre my heroes. Theyre my angels.
