For several weeks, Matt participated in medically supervised exercise, received heart-healthy education and bonded with other heart attack survivors. “I feel fantastic,” he says. Since his ordeal, the 56-year-old father of four sees a cardiologist regularly and has committed to a healthy lifestyle. “The biggest change I’ve made is my mindset with stress,” he says. Looking back, Matt knows he’s lucky to be alive. “Butler is only 15 minutes from me, but I had no idea of the facility and the staff they have there for cardiac care,” Matt says. “I was amazed.” ButlerHealthSystem.org | 5
