Semen Horov Opens Up About Heart Attack and His Disability

In a revealing conversation with renowned television host Slava Dyomin, Horov detailed his health struggles, particularly focusing on the heart attack that occurred during a trip to the United States. The director shared insights into his condition and the circumstances that led to such severe heart problems.

According to Horov, health issues began long before he experienced the heart attack. He recounted his visit to the Heart Institute, where he underwent stenting to address his condition. "The first time it happened a long time ago. I don't remember the year. My heart started to hurt. I went to the Heart Institute, and they quickly resolved the problem by placing a stent," the director revealed.

Horov also noted that the heart attack was a result of excessive stress during a particularly demanding year when he was still actively involved in the show business. "Then there was a very tense year; I was still working in show business, and the time before New Year is always complicated. There’s a lot of work. You submit projects, you don't sleep. Editing and everything. Then there's New Year's Eve, and traditionally, we flew somewhere to America, to Miami. And you can't sleep for 12 hours on the plane. After that, you arrive in Miami, and there are friends, and that’s when the heart attack caught up with me. It happened at sea. Fortunately, there was Puerto Rico nearby, and there was an American hospital. Unfortunately, the heart wasn't doing so well afterward. But I am being treated by good doctors, and I feel more or less okay. Unfortunately, I have to take a lot of pills, and of course, I can't party like I used to — it’s all about routine and such," he explained.

Semen Horov emphasized that he was fortunate because there was a doctor on board the yacht where the heart attack occurred, which significantly eased the situation. He admitted to undergoing several heart surgeries but continues to work on improving his health. This interview serves as an important reminder of how stress and a hectic schedule can adversely affect one’s health and highlights the importance of timely medical assistance.

Known for his contributions to the Ukrainian show business, Semen Horov is now compelled to adhere to a strict regimen and take medication to maintain his health. His openness during the conversation with Dyomin could serve as an example for many facing similar challenges. It is crucial to remember that health is the most valuable asset we have, and it must be protected.
