Sounds exactly like a (WidowMaker) heart attack. [ link to healthblog.uofmhealth.org (secure)] A widowmaker is an informal term for a heart attack that involves 100 percent blockage in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, says Stanley Chetcuti, M.D., an interventional cardiologist at the University of Michigan Frankel Cardiovascular Center.
As heart attacks go, a widowmaker can be particularly lethal because of the location and extent of the blockage.
“The LAD is a very important blood vessel,” Chetcuti says. “It supplies a significant amount of blood flow to the heart muscle — so there can be big consequences when that territory is jeopardized.”Sorry OP :(
