Rare cases this happens when a man, Guido Garofalo (45 years) sudden heart attack while vacationing with his wife and children his eldest brother, Alberto (53 years). When trying to help Guido, Alberto experiencing chest pain that indicates he also had a heart attack.
Other family members immediately called paramedics to evacuate two sisters to the hospital. Not how long, paramedics arrived by helicopter, but unfortunately the two men from the Province of Catania, died on the way.
This heartbreaking tragedy has not ended up there, because on the same day the brother of Salvatore namely number three also had a heart attack. Not since heard two older brothers died, but because his mother was suddenly critical in a hospital in Rome.
Seeing the condition being collapse Salvatore, one of his sisters who are also in Rome deliberately not told about the death of two brothers in Catania. It is feared that if Salvatore was surprised, then in a family can have 3 people died of a heart attack.
Doctors and nurses help desperately Salvatore, while other families hoping miracles will happen on that day. Luckily though his condition was critical and his heart is still monitored, Salvatore conditions slowly getting better.
"This case is being studied. It is unique because I've never heard of three brothers had a heart attack on the same day," said Dr. Thekia Maurhoff of Garibaldi Hospital in Catania, as quoted by the Telegraph, Wednesday (30/11/2011).
Meanwhile, other experts suspect that this case occurred because the three siblings inherited the same risk factors in family history. By coincidence, the trigger factor appeared simultaneously so that a heart attack can occur on the same day.
"Genetic factors almost always play an important role in this heartbreaking tragedy. A heart attack that occurred in less than 60 years of age usually are caused by these factors (genetic)," said Professor Filippo Crea, a cardiologist from Rome Cattolica University.
