Ironside used the total immersion system- used to put on hip boots and dunk converts and some who didn't want to come in just then but who slid to Jesus on his bass notes.

If a coronary artery is clogged by a blood clot (thrombus), or is narrowed by hardening, the heart cannot get enough blood to survive. Before it dies, it causes the terrifying signal of pain called angina pectoris...
