“My flu-like symptoms Herald Community Newspapers - Your Health - March 8, 2018
turned out to be
a heart attack.” 962465
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
grandson’s 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 didn’t feel
right. We took no chances and called 911. The paramedics
arrived and within minutes, I was in cardiac arrest.
LIFE AFTER HEART ATTACK: I woke up a few days later and
after many tests the doctors determined that the upper
part of my heart wasn’t sending signals to the bottom part
to pump blood, and that’s why my heart stopped. I was
fitted with an ICD to treat my irregular heartbeat. After the
procedure, I’m back to normal, I’m 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. They’re my heroes. They’re my angels.
