Summer 2014 my 53 year old husband had a major widowmaker (left ) heart attack. Within 1.5 hours they had him prepped for surgery in the cardiac cath lab. Once he was in the cath lab he had another heart attack the stent was placed and then he went into ventricular fibrillation. He suffered oxygen loss to the brain of course during v-fib. He remained in the hosp for 5 days. His EF was not good his heart muscle was damaged but it did rebound and he did adjust to medication. Sent him home on asprin, coreg, lipitor, effient. He resumed work, finished cardiac rehab, and to everyone else has seemed to recover very well. I noticed his blank shallow emotional responses right away in the hospital and they have never really gone away. Emotionally he is detached. He used to sing all the time but he cannot remember the words to songs. He doesn't want anyone to know. He knows I do know & since I told him he has taken it upon himself to learn words to songs, sings them outloud and tells me he rmembers them but they are songs he never sang before. Really it is quite sad. He also have rages where he yells at me and blames me for his heart attack even though they said it is coronary artery disease. I was the one who got him to the hospital or he would be dead. It is such a hard thing to hear him blame me for his heart attacks. They really do not counsel the spouses or prepare them for life after this type of event. He was not remembering to lock doors etc... that has gotten better though. None the less he is just simply detached. He has had chest pain since coming home a few time and experiences Shortness of Breath when trotting /jogging around. Oddly enough though he doesn't gt that when exercising on the elliptical, bike or treadmill. I worry that his life expectancy has been reduced significantly but cannot get any data to apply to his experiences. So, 2 major widow-maker heart attacks and v-fib all in less than about 2 hours. Does anyone have a guess to his life expectancy. Thanks so much for reading. It feels good to have put this onto a posting as I have not voiced it anywhere else. I just want to be prepared for whatever is in my future and his. The online page said this was free but now wants me to pay for this inquiry and doc response. If you can reply to this I would appreciate it my email was provided but I do not have money now for this and do not want my spouse to know either.
