Kevin Mathurin said medication and lifestyle changes followed the diagnosis after doctors found a blocked artery that caused heart failure and a minor heart attack.
- On Tuesday, Emmerdale star Kevin Mathurin revealed he suffered a minor heart attack in mid-October 2025, caused by a blocked artery that led to heart failure—an ordeal he said "changed his life forever."
- Mathurin explained he was "under a lot of stress and pressure" at the time and admitted to "not dealing with things head on" after losing a close friend to Cancer and grieving his inability to attend the funeral.
