Alaska state Rep. Ron Gillham suffers heart attack, returns to Capitol after procedure.
Rep. Ronald"Ron" Gillham, R-Kenai, is seen on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022 in front of his office at the Alaska State Capitol in Juneau. Gillham suffered a severe heart attack last week, he said.
Gillham’s absence from the state Capitol starting Thursday was initially attributed to a “personal emergency,” by a member of his staff. Kenai radio station KSRM-AM reported“The doctor said I was within 15 minutes of not making it,” Gillham said in a brief interview Tuesday.“The treatment was amazing,” he said of the care he received in Juneau and Anchorage. “They’ve done a wonderful job.
Once there, a doctor diagnosed him with a heart attack, pinpointing a blood vessel toward the bottom of his heart. The doctor administered clot-busting medication, Gillham said. He said he doesn’t recall being afraid or having much pain in the process. When he arrived in Anchorage, he was hurried to an operating table and had a stent inserted into his heart through a vein in his wrist, which is still bruised from the procedure.
