To the OP: Any diver can thumb a dive at any time for any reason. Its as simple as that.
Many people that have MI, especially NSTEMI, will not have any noticable heart damage. Their EF will remain normal and for all intents and purposes the heart returns to the baseline it was at before the insult. Also, the saltwater aspiration and MI probably were not a cause and effect situation. I would guess that probably the MI was a result of the strenuous swim against current and THEN came the aspiration secondary to exhaustion from the swim. Just a guess.

A diagnosis of a heart attack implies that some heart muscle died. Are you saying that, even after the incident, your heart function is at/near 100%?
