TV star, 33, suffers heart attack linked to vaping
“Below Deck” star Fraser Olender, 33, experienced a heart attack and lung injury due to vaping and is urging others to quit.Summary
"Below Deck" star Fraser Olender, 33, recently revealed he suffered a heart attack and a serious lung injury linked to vaping. He was hospitalized with severe chest pain and breathing problems, leading to a diagnosis of E-cigarette or Vaping-Associated Lung Injury (EVALI). This condition triggered a coronary artery vasospasm, causing an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) heart attack, where reduced blood flow due to oxygen deprivation, rather than a blockage, caused the heart attack. Olender described the pain as excruciating, requiring strong pain medication. He is now sharing his story to encourage others to quit vaping, emphasizing the potentially fatal consequences of the habit and stating he “could have died for the sake of something so ridiculously stupid.”
