On a hot day, even a 55-year-old office worker, Mr. Chen, experienced symptoms like shortness of breath and chest tightness but didn't take it seriously as he attributed it to being overweight. However, he eventually suffered a near-fatal heart attack and was saved by prompt emergency medical interventions at Cathay General Hospital. This incident highlights the importance of being aware of cardiovascular risks, especially during hot weather, as dehydration and electrolyte imbalance can lead to conditions like myocardial infarction or stroke. The case underscores the need for individuals, even younger adults, to take care of their health, manage risk factors such as smoking and hypertension, and seek medical attention promptly when experiencing symptoms.
