Jakarta –
A fitness influencer in Brazil has died at the age of 33. The woman named Larissa Borges died after suffering a double heart attack.
“The pain of losing someone so young, only 33 years old, and so kind, is extraordinary. Our hearts are broken, and the longing we feel is indescribable,” wrote Borges’ relatives as quoted by New York PostThursday (21/9/2023).
According to local media, Borges was treated on August 20 2023 for a heart attack while in Gramado. As a result, he fell into a coma.
However, after suffering a second heart attack, Borges was declared dead.
The cause of the influencer’s death is still unclear. However, initial investigations revealed that Borges may have been drunk while experiencing heart problems.
To get to the root of the problem, authorities have scheduled Borges’ body for a post-mortem examination.
“There are reports of possible consumption of narcotic substances, which accumulated with alcoholic beverages,” reported Deputy Gustavo Barcellos about the ongoing investigation.
“The body was sent for necropsy. We will try to find out through laboratory tests to find out what substances he may have consumed.”
Quoted from Indian Express, Borges’ double heart attack is an unusual condition. This can have a fatal impact, causing death.
“An unusual and serious medical emergency known as a double heart attack, occurs when the atria and ventricles of the heart go into cardiac arrest at the same time,” said senior interventional cardiologist and director of Metro Group Cardiology and CTVS, Metro Hospitals, Dr Sameer Gupta .
Dr Sameer explained a common heart attack scenario may involve an arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythm, in the atria or ventricles. This results in loss of efficient pumping action.
“When the atria and ventricles are damaged at the same time, this is a very serious and deadly situation because the heart is unable to pump blood adequately. So the body’s important organs, including the brain, lose oxygen and nutrients,” he explained.
