“There is talk of a heart attack and arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, and cardiac arrest”Rivera began by saying, while his partner listened attentively.
“Cardiac arrest is the end of something, we all go through cardiac arrest when we dieis the definition of death. What causes cardiac arrest?… It could be a heart attack. I would like to know how they determined that it was a heart attack, because my reaction would have been that we need an autopsy to know if it really was a heart attack.“, the doctor said clearly.
This autopsy is something that many wonder in silence, if it was done or not, taking into account that Julián did not die in a hospital under medical care, but at his home and apparently alone.
“At 28 years old, as a cardiologist, if I am in an emergency room and I am in this situation like this, what do I think? … Number 1, heart attack, but it is rare at 28 years, because there is not enough time for the heart to develop plaques to have a heart attack… it’s possible? Everything is possible in medicine, but I would like to confirm it”, continued explaining doctor Juan.
“Number 2, it could be a pulmonary embolism leading to cardiac arrest.. Number 3, a congenital disorderthat is, that the arteries of the heart are in an abnormal anatomy that causes that. Number 4, a toxicological reason, either prescription or non-prescription… All this universe of things that I am thinking about when I have a 28-year-old with this clinical picture”, he concluded.
