It was a normal Saturday recently for the Davis family from Topeka. Scott Davis and his wife Jessica were in Kansas City for their sons\u2019hockey matches. Scott is the coach and between their sons\u2019 sporting activities and daughter\u2019s dance participation, they lead a busy life. On their way home from the hockey match, Scott became ill. His chest hurt, his hands were tingly, and he was grasping at his chest.<\/p>\n
After checking in with a loved one on the phone, they decided that Scott should be seen by a doctor so they went to a local Urgent Care facility that immediately told them to get to Providence, the closest Emergency Room with a Cath lab in the western part of Kansas City.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband wanted to stop and get some Tums and told me his chest hurt,\u201d described Jessica. \u201cWe decided he needed immediate care and were directed to Providence.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Scott arrived at the hospital, a medical team quickly assessed his vital signs in the Emergency Room, then sped him to the hospital\u2019s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory.<\/p>\n
Scott was having a major heart attack with a major artery on the left showing 100% blockage and the widow maker’s artery in front of the heart showing 90% blockage. Venkat Pasnoori, MD, Interventional cardiologist, placed the two stents necessary to open Scott\u2019s clogged arteries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have such a great team here at Providence,\u201d said Dr. Pasnoori. \u201cOur team assembled quickly and was able to rapidly and efficiently care for Mr. Davis which resulted in saving Mr. Davis\u2019 life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Topeka couple have four children, one daughter and three sons. She and two of her sons were with Scott at the time of his chest pain. She said initially the family could not be with him in the ER during the early diagnosis due to COVID-19 visiting restrictions, but a certain nurse, Julia, kept them very informed.<\/p>\n
As it was decided that Scott needed to go to the Cath lab for a procedure, Julia worked with the doctor so the family could speak with Scott briefly. She even visited with them the next few days to follow up when he was an inpatient.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything happened kind of quickly,\u201d said Scott. \u201cAfter my procedure I woke up in an ICU bed where a nurse named Sharon took good care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica added, \u201cSharon was a great nurse and a great teacher who helped us learn about Scott\u2019s heart and what was done to save his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am thankful for the care I received at Providence, especially the care by the nurses and Dr. Pasnoori,\u201d Scott said. He is looking forward to returning to his favorite activities of being a husband, dad and coach, thanks to the lifesaving care he received at Providence.<\/p>\n
Did You Know Heart Attacks Have Beginnings?<\/b><\/p>\n
Like many people, Scott\u2019s body tried to tell him he was going to have a heart attack, but he was unsure. In fact, more than 50 percent of people have these warning signs, which include:<\/p>\n
Remember, people may or may not experience any or all these symptoms. These symptoms may come and go until finally becoming constant and severe.<\/p>\n
Eight five percent of heart damage occurs within the first two hours of a heart attack. That\u2019s why acting on these warning symptoms and calling 911 can be crucial to saving precious heart muscle before damage occurs.<\/p>\n
