Reiner Calmund Reflects on Life-Threatening Health Scare

The former football manager revealed details of his December hospitalization and his recovery following a near-fatal heart incident.

Reiner Calmund, 76, collapsed during the filming of the TV show 'Grill den Henssler' in early December and was rushed to a hospital in Cologne.
Doctors discovered his carotid artery was 90% blocked, requiring the immediate placement of a stent to restore blood flow.
Calmund underwent additional heart procedures, including an ablation and defibrillator treatment, to address arrhythmia and stabilize his condition.
His wife, Sylvia Calmund, gifted him a smartwatch for Christmas to help monitor his heart health, though medical experts caution it cannot replace regular checkups.
Feeling fully recovered, Calmund plans to proceed with a January vacation to Thailand, emphasizing his improved health and optimism for the future.
