Hammesfahr had written a complete report concerning the Schiavo case in September, 2002, revealing that medical tests conducted after her collapse did not show evidence of a heart attack as had been claimed.

Back to the heart attack nonsense. Schiavo experienced 'cardiac arrest' which is not the same thing as a heart attack. From Hammesfahr's report:

Paramedics were called, and aggressive resuscitation was performed with 7 defibrillations en route.

In the Emergency Room, a possible diagnosis of heart attack was briefly entertained, but then dismissed after blood chemistries and serial EKG's did not show evidence of a heart attack.

Why even bring up the heart attack business? Unless, of course, the writer is trying to distort a situation? Or doesn't have sufficient medical background to even be writing articles of a medical nature in the first place?

Distortion is what some of these people do best. Whatever it takes to promote their agenda of killing off the disabled and elderly.
