Jorge Ortiz de Pinedo responded to a signal from his body in time. The 78-year-old actor felt dizzy while visiting his grandchildren in Monterrey with his wife. That discomfort took him to the hospital and, according to what he said, prevented him from a possible cardiac event.
The producer also clarified the false rumors that circulated on networks about his death. During the birthday celebration of businessman Víctor González Torres, he gave details of what happened.
From dizziness to catheterization
When he arrived at the hospital, doctors performed an echocardiogram. This ultrasound test creates moving images of the heart in real time. When they detected something abnormal, they proceeded with a catheterization, a procedure to diagnose and treat heart conditions.
The result was clear: an artery was about to close completely.
“A certain dizziness that I felt kind of strange and they did the classic thing that they do to all old people, I’m 78 years old and from there they did an echocardiogram and from there they said that we have to investigate because something is strange, they did a catheterization and discovered that an artery was about to close,” he expressed.
Thanks to timely care, the actor avoided a heart attack. His case reminds us of the importance of not ignoring symptoms such as dizziness or fatigue, especially in older adults.
