A heart scare on the soccer pitch nearly took the life of a North Texas man.
A heart scare on the soccer pitch nearly took the life of a North Texas man, but the problem wasn't what doctors immediately thought."I knew something was wrong. I wasn't feeling right and I started to walk off the field. I got off the field, onto the bench, and sat down, and a few seconds later is when I collapsed," said Mixson."They knew something was up with my heart.
Dr. Macias says it's unclear exactly why Mixson suffered from SCAD, but believes it might be genetic.They determined the best course of action was coronary artery bypass surgery. After five days in the hospital, Mixson started what's been a long road to recovery, but he's grateful for surviving the heart scare.
