They put a stint in and will know more in a couple of days.
Thanks everyone..

Holy shit. That's a close call and another reason all you folks should know and know how to do CPR.
Sounds a little like the ol' widow maker (left anterior descending) artery was occluded. Probably/possibly not, because that's a sneaky mofo. Sometimes no pain, just arrest.
Glad he didn't have to have his chest cracked.
Speedy recovery to Joe.
