    Kris Dim had a heart attack

    From his trainer:

    "I am kris's partner at his personal training studio and unfortunately the rumor is true...Kris went down yesterday at the studio and had emergency heart surgery to repair a split in his aortic valve...they thought that he was gonna be paralyzed because he did have a pretty significant stroke but i just visited kris and he is moving all limbs and he is speaking and coherent. They gave him a 10% chance of surviving the surgery but the big guy pulled through and it truly is a miracle. Thank you and God bless."

    What is the known cause? Thier could be a multitude of reasons such as genetic, too much strain on his heart, etc. Any ideas?

    that actually is not a "heart attack" the aortic valve is a little valve that opens when your left ventricle contracts to pump blood through your body.a heart attack is a blocked coronary artery. the only way to know is the heart surgeon would have to physcialy look and see the cause, but could be a congenital disorder of some sort.the stroke obviously came from the shearing of the aortic valve, and traveled to some part of his brain causing the stroke. Now the only thing i can think of is if perhaps he had hypertension causing the shearing of the valve/and stroke but who knows.this is a likley event though...god bless him and i hope he pulls through.

    kris has genetically thin and weak arterial walls...the increased pressure from HTN (brought about by steroid use ) eventually bore a whole through the aortic valve. Kris has known about the genetic flaw (which killed his father) and has been taking blood pressure medication to combat the HTN which he knew he would undoubtedly experience with steroid use. Unfortunately it wasn't enough.

    awesome. I work with nurses at the hospital he was admitted too...It was pretty big news around there. Of course there a bunch of talk about steroid abuse which gets really ****ing old.

    this is a pretty good read that goes into the purported links between AAS and aortic dissections. it has pretty pictures too, so we can understand it
