The sad fact is that most people that have an attack do not survive irrespective of the care given.
Duff gen, I'm afraid, so says my MD who does my flying medicals, who is a cardiologist.
In Phoenix Arizona, 67% of patients who suffer a heart attack survive reasonably well, provided prompt medical attention is received.

Regarding the EK CC,I expect the original 'story' has a few holes,but may well be accurate in many ways.
A lawyers dream.
