A Stunning Discovery Saves a Father's Life

When the occasional chest pains started, Michael Casey assumed it was just muscle strain. After all, the 43-year-old airline customer service agent lifts heavy luggage every day and enjoys playing sports with his children and nephews, so he's no stranger to sore muscles.

But one day the chest pain wouldn't go away, and Casey went to the emergency room at Southern Regional Medical Center. Doctors recognized that Casey's cardiac enzymes were elevated, suggesting the potential for a heart attack. So they quickly ushered him into Southern Regional's Heart & Vascular Care Center where Dr. Chituru Adele made a discovery that saved Michael's life.
