Hi,

Thanks for posting your query.

Yes, it is definitely possible for someone on medically induced coma to have a Heart attack.

It happens frequently in the ICU settings. I am sorry that someone is suffering this.

Please do write back for further clarifications, if required.

I wish him speedy recovery.
