Barry Sanders Opens up About His Heart Attack Last Summer

Barry Sanders, the former Detroit Lions running back, experienced a heart attack last June while accompanying his son Noah on a college recruiting trip.
The event began with Sanders experiencing a burning sensation in his chest, which he initially believed was heartburn, before deciding to take himself to the hospital for emergency care.
Doctors performed tests, found elevated cardiac enzyme levels, and confirmed Sanders had suffered a mild heart attack requiring a heart catheter procedure.
Sanders stated, "I literally had a heart attack," and emphasized that sometimes the condition is hereditary and not due to wrongdoing.
Since the incident, Sanders has improved his health through lifestyle changes and uses his platform to encourage proactive heart care, sharing his story in an upcoming A&E documentary.
