TRIBUNE: GLORIA IN ICU; TEST CONFIRM SHE IS AT RISK OF HEART ATTACK
Complaining of chest pains, Mrs. Arroyo was subjected to various tests, the results of which indicated that she is suffering from coronary ischemia which doctors say might lead to a heart attack. VMMC Dir Nona Legaspi explained that ischemia is a condition where not enough blood is circulating in the coronary arteries due to blockage. "Ischemia is the lack of blood going to the heart. For it (the heart) to pump, it needs blood. So when you say ischemia, there is blood vessel that is somehow blocked," Legaspi said. "That is something ominous which you just cannot forego."
