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.

Joe is the best and was coherant enough to respond on social media yesterday.
Interestingly enough, he said it was the artery on the back of his heart that was 100 percent blocked. He said he had a lot of pain unlike my experience of just not being able to breath which has led to seven stents, 4 in the widow maker.
