"Widow maker" heart attack survivor says calling 911 saved his life


One evening, Lebanon resident David Berger was getting ready at home to watch his son's race when he had a small sensation in his arm and chest.
"I sat down for like 10 seconds, and it didn't work. I just wasn't feeling right," he said. "Probably in the span of five minutes, it did go to numbness ... and that's when I said to (my wife) that I need an ambulance."
Berger was suffering from a heart attack, diagnosed by doctors afterwards as having 100% blockage in an artery that runs in the front of his heart. Commonly referred to as a "widow maker," the American Heart Association states only 12% of patients outside of a hospital or an advanced care center survive this condition.
