When a person has experienced a major cardiac event, it is not unusual for them to be stable (often awake and lucid) diring the next next 36 hours but there is a very high risk that a second event will arrive with 72 hours of the first. It happens all the time. I did not say this at the time as it might seem unkind to some. But the facts remain that major cardiac events that happen away from expert medical help do not usually have the happy outcome that you see on TV and in the movies.
