Baldasaro Suffers Heart Attack at State House

Londonderry State Rep. Al Baldasaro suffered a serious heart attack at the State House yesterday, according to a message today from his girlfriend.

As of this morning, Baldasaro was recovering in the hospital from surgery.

In a message on his Facebook, Baldasaro's girlfriend wrote that he drove himself from the State House to Concord Hospital after suffering the heart attack. 

There they had the stent inserted into his heart, where they found that the artery was completely blocked.

Baldasaro will be recovering in the Intensive Care Unit for at least the next couple of days, with a time of discharge unknown. She added that it is difficult for him to accept visitors at this time.

Several friends, family and fellow legislators sent Baldasaro well wishes today.

State Rep. Jenn Coffey, R-Andover encourages friends to send a card and prayers to Baldasaro.

Speaker of the House William O Brien, R-Mont Vernon also sent prayers along, telling Baldasaro's girlfriend that "work isn't done in Concord."

Also encouraging Baldasaro to get well soon was Rep. Sharon Carson, R-Londonderry.
