[QUOTE="hooraybeer, post: 1831654, member: 17413"] another concerning tidbit here is that he didn't receive medical attention for 10-15 minutes after falling to the ground and required a defibrillator by EMS. if he was in a non-perfusing heart rhythm secondary to his heart attack, which is likely given that he required a defibrillator, that means that his brain didn't receive blood/oxygen for 10-15 minutes (assuming that no bystander CPR occurred, which is what I take "did not receive medical attention for between 10 to 15 minutes" in the article to mean). the "seizures" reported in the article could be secondary to anoxic brain injury/damage (ie. his brain didn't receive blood/oxygen for a significant period of time and was damaged). all speculation based on the information provided but this scenario highlights the importance of bystander CPR. Get trained if you are not already! Immediate initiation of bystander CPR is critical in these scenarios and can be lifesaving. I hope he is okay. [/QUOTE]
