Brian had a massive heart attack and went into cardiogenic shock. He was rushed to SMH-Sarasota where his medical team whisked him to the cath lab, where an interventional cardiology team inserted four stents to restore blood flow to his failing heart.
Thank you.
Your support helps provide the most up-to-date, life-saving technology, state-of-the-art facilities, and the most advanced medical training and ensures that life-saving care at SMH is here if you, a loved one or a neighbor needs it.
There were so many things that came together to help save my life. I feel so grateful for the great folks at SMH.
