Can you get into a coma after having a heart attack? I was wondering because my uncle had colon cancer and went into a coma and died. I was wondering if you could get a heart attack then get in a coma....

Alot of things can cause you to go into a coma. And a heart attack is one of them. If you have a severe heart attack with a period of reduced blood flow to the brain this can cause coma. A number of other affects of poor blood flow to other organs can cause problems in the brain and coma. eg renal failure secondary to heart attack

Only God knows, but since they gave you a time she should be coming out of it. It sounds like it was a medically induced coma, for what reason they had to do this is unclear by your story. Are you sure it was a heart attack instead of a lethal arrythmia, which her heart stopped? She is in my prayers, and your family too what ever happens.

Shortly after collapsing with a severe case of heat stroke Thursday evening, Florida freshman football player Eraste Autin suffered a massive heart attack and fell into a coma at Shands at the University of Florida, Gainesville, his high school athletic director said.
