Susan Lucci has finally spoken up about her heart issues. She initially experienced a heart issue three years ago, but she only recently disclosed that she had to have another emergency cardiac surgery.
The 75-year-old actress discussed the reasons behind the treatment in an interview. Before the operation, she was having respiratory issues, according to Lucci. ‘This is weird,’” she remarked. Lucci is thankful to her doctors for saving her life and feels much better.
Even though they come and go, symptoms like tightness in the chest and jaw discomfort might indicate a heart attack. Three years ago, Susan experienced it, and it turned out that she required a stent to open an 80% blockage in one of her arteries.
Even though her symptoms were less severe this time, her doctor advised her to visit the emergency department. She required another stent to be inserted, according to examinations.
When discussing her situation, Dr. Richard Shlofmitz, the head of cardiology at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York, said, “This time, she wasn’t experiencing a heart attack, and she wasn’t mentally disturbed.
However, she displayed symptoms that made me worry that something could be amiss.” Fortunately, the stent removed the impediment, and Susan is doing fantastic now.
