He was shoveling the snow, which fell on the city of Milan and most of Lombardy during the night, when he fell ill and fell to the ground with the shovel still in hand. It happened in via Monte Grappa, in the Porta Garibaldi area, today Monday, December 28. An ambulance and a car-doctor intervened at the scene and, as soon as they rescued him, they found that the 50-year-old man was in cardiac arrest.
After being revived, he was transported in code red.
The operations center of the regional emergency emergencies company received the call shortly after eight in the morning. Areu then dispatched 118 personnel to the scene who, given the man’s condition, underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Shortly after, thanks to the timely intervention of the rescue, the 50-year-old’s heart beat again. Despite this, the man was transported in code red to Fatebenefratelli hospital where he was hospitalized.
Two other cases of heart attack in Cernusco sul Naviglio and Biassono
Two other similar cases occurred in Cernusco su Naviglio, in the province of Milan, and Biassono in the province of Monza and Brianza. In the first case, the man was transported to San Raffaele while in the second he was transported to San Gerardo de Monza. In the latter case, the most serious, the man did not autonomously resume cardiac activity during the ambulance journey. Given how often people go into cardiac arrest while plowing snow, Areu appealed: “If you have heart disease, don’t do it.” In fact, the cold constricts the blood vessels. If you add to this the effort generated by shoveling, there is a greater demand for oxygen and blood and the heart, if there is heart disease, can go crazy.
