Eli5: How do doctors save people from a heart attack?
In: Biology
My husband had a right coronary heart attack at 26 years old. They did imaging and had a Stent placed via an artery in his leg within 7 minutes of our arrival in the ER room which opened up the artery with the clot. He felt immediate relief. He also is on lifelong medication as his heart attack was caused by a genetic cholesterol condition.
Treatment may vary depending on the location and number of clots and blockages.
