Joaquín Levinton suffered a heart attack: what happened in the bar

Joaquín Levinton, lead singer of the band Turf, spoke for the first time after suffering a heart attack. The incident occurred last Friday, December 12th, when the musician felt a pain in his chest at a restaurant on Dorrego Street. People present at the establishment quickly contacted SAME for assistance. Levinton confirmed that he has already been discharged from the hospital. "I wanted to tell you that I'm already home, they gave me the discharge... I had a heart attack because I had a clogged artery. Suddenly, my chest started to hurt, as if I couldn't breathe," he recounted. From his home, Levinton thanked the medical team that treated him: "A waiter from 'El Timón' helped me first, for which I am very grateful. Then SAME arrived very quickly, who took me to the Fernández Hospital, which I also thank with all my heart for the great care and how quickly they attended to me. Shortly after, I was already in a room, well and recovering to be at home today, and in a month back on stage, doing all the fantasies I do." Finally, he expressed his happiness to see the concern of his fans for his health: "So a huge kiss also to you, who threw me so much love, I really love you all so much, I got very emotional when I saw the messages."
