Got a call today from my husband’s workplace. He collapsed, was given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Docs say he had a heart attack (he’s 47) and hes now in CCU pending a CAT scan. He’s unconscious and on a ventilator. We’ve only been together 3 years. ---

I will keep both of you in my prayers tonight. As others have said, keep us informed. I’ve been through this, my father had a heart attack, and he’s fine now thirty years later. Try to sleep and eat as normally as possible. Trite but true, as my mothe the RN would say. You need to keep your own health up, to be strong for him. ---

He had a cardiac arrest and possible ischemic stroke. He’s in a medical coma now, being kept cold for 24 hours. They’ll warm him up then give him an MRI. Thanks to all of you for your support. I’ll keep you posted. ---

How frightening! Sounds like his coworkers did a good job with the CPR. I’m glad he is getting the hypothermia treatment. It really does improve outcomes tremendously. The Dope will be thinking of you. Have someone take care of you while you take care of him. ---

I’m glad that someone was around to help your husband get a pulse back quickly enough to make it to the hospital and get the cooling treatment. I used to work in an ICU, and I saw a few cases where the cooling treatment seemed to makes a big difference in allowing someone to recover from the neurological effects of a cardiac arrest. I hope that things start looking up soon. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/library1900-is-in-the-hospital/670043.md?page=2)
