Overview
- On June 18 Gago felt chest discomfort he thought was muscle pain, went to a Santiago clinic after the match, and was diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction caused by a blocked artery.
- Doctors performed an urgent revascularization procedure to restore blood flow to his heart and the club said he evolved favorably without complications.
- Gago was discharged to outpatient cardiological follow-up and gradually reestablished contact with the club before returning to direct the team in early July.
- He said his wife insisted on testing, that initial exams seemed normal before a final analysis revealed the blockage, and he described the episode as life changing.
- Universidad de Chile will keep Gago under medical supervision as he resumes work and fans should watch for ongoing cardiac follow-up and any adjustments to his training duties.
