O actor and folder Rui de Sá, 65 years old, suffered a myocardial infarction and is hospitalized. The artist shared a video on social networks where he appears in a bed at Garcia da Horta Hospital in Almada, and explains how it happened, leaving a positive message.
Rui de Sá wanted to rest his friends who have been worried about his health and thus leave a message for everyone.
“It could be worse,” he starts by saying. Rui suffered a heart attack and went to the emergency room of the hospital and underwent a “catheterism”.
“ Yesterday I just had a catheterization [due to] obstruction of an artery, where it was placed [a stent]. Everything went well”, explained.

With a positive spirit, Rui de Sá promises that soon “he will be back at the folds and the restaurant”, where he is a kitchen helper in the Cota Coelho space, located in Almada.
