Hello ,
Most probably she had an acute heart attack .
Timely diagnosis by the doctors , she must have been able to reach the hospital with en 6 hours , so a clot bursting injection would have been given .This would reestablish the flow to the blocked artery preventing major attack . The first 24 hours are important to watch for complications . Considering she was given the right treatment , she should do well . Maybe later they may do an angiography to look for the blockages and treat them if required . Regards Dr. Mody
