Kapanlagi.com - The Indonesian entertainment world is in mourning again. On Monday, January 27, 2025, legendary singer Emilia Contessa took her last breath at RSUD Blambangan, Banyuwangi, East Java. At the age of 67, the mother of singer Denada passed away due to heart failure. The news of her passing certainly leaves a profound sorrow for her family, colleagues, and loyal fans who have supported her throughout the years.
Emilia Contessa was known for her distinctive voice and a number of legendary hit songs from the 70s, such as "Penasaran" and "Layu Sebelum Berkembang". Not only did she create music, but she also ventured into politics as a member of the Regional Representative Council (DPD) for the 2014-2019 period.
Her passing serves as an important reminder about heart health. Emilia died from heart failure, a condition that is often misunderstood as a heart attack. Let’s delve deeper into this matter, as summarized by Kapanlagi.com on Tuesday (28/1).
On a gloomy Monday morning, Emilia Contessa felt a sharp pain, prompting her to be rushed to the Blambangan Regional Hospital in Banyuwangi around 07:00 AM. Despite receiving medical treatment, her health continued to deteriorate, worsened by the diabetes she had long suffered from, until her blood sugar soared critically above 500 mg/dL.
"Actually, her complaints had started the night before, but it was only this morning that we took her to the hospital," said Dino Rosano Hansa, the youngest brother of the deceased.
The medical team worked hard to stabilize her condition, but Emilia's heart could not endure and ultimately suffered acute heart failure. At 6:00 PM, she took her last breath.
Her profound departure was conveyed by manager Denada, Risna Ories, through social media, asking everyone to send prayers for the deceased. "Please send an Al-Fatihah prayer for Mrs. Emilia Contessa. Thank you for your kindness in sending prayers for her," she wrote.
Heart failure is a serious health issue, where the heart can no longer pump blood effectively throughout the body. Emilia, who suffers from chronic diabetes, became one of the victims of this condition. Prolonged high blood sugar levels have weakened her heart muscles, triggering dangerous complications such as pulmonary edema—fluid buildup in the lungs.
Symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath, extreme fatigue, and irregular heartbeat, emerge slowly but surely. In Emilia's case, the condition worsened within hours, underscoring the importance of prompt and appropriate treatment.
"A heart attack can come suddenly with varying symptoms in each individual, while heart failure develops gradually," said Dr. Irene Cindy Sunur on the alodokter.com page.
Although often considered similar, heart failure and heart attack actually have significant differences. A heart attack occurs suddenly due to a blockage of blood flow to the heart muscle, usually caused by a buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries, and requires rapid emergency treatment.
On the other hand, heart failure is a chronic condition that develops slowly, where the heart muscle loses strength and is unable to pump blood effectively, often caused by factors such as hypertension or diabetes.
Symptoms of a heart attack may include sudden chest pain and shortness of breath, while heart failure is characterized by prolonged shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, and persistent fatigue. The treatment for both is also different; a heart attack may require emergency procedures such as CPR or blood thinners, whereas heart failure focuses more on medication therapy, dietary management, and sometimes the installation of a pacemaker.
Prevention is a powerful weapon to protect oneself from serious threats like heart failure. There are several smart steps we can take: starting with controlling blood sugar levels for diabetes sufferers, maintaining stable blood pressure through a healthy diet and regular exercise, and avoiding smoking habits and excessive alcohol consumption.
Don't forget to have regular health check-ups, especially if there is a family history of heart disease. Additionally, managing stress and maintaining an ideal weight are also very important.
By adopting a healthy lifestyle, we can significantly reduce the risk of heart failure. Also, recognize early symptoms such as shortness of breath or irregular heartbeat, so that we can receive appropriate medical treatment promptly.
Emilia Contessa, born on September 27, 1957, is a legendary figure who captured public attention with her melodious voice since the 70s. Iconic songs like "Angin Malam" and "Melati" still resonate in the memories of many, making her one of the leading divas in the history of Indonesian music.
However, her talent is not limited to the entertainment stage; in 2014, she stepped into the political arena as a member of the DPD RI representing East Java, passionately advocating for the aspirations of the people. Behind her success, Emilia is also known as a loving mother, always supporting her daughter, Denada, in the entertainment industry.
The loss of her figure is felt not only by her family but also by the entire world of music and politics in Indonesia, which has lost a true inspirator.
Heart failure can be caused by various factors that threaten our health, such as coronary artery disease that erodes blood vessels, undetected hypertension, diabetes that disrupts metabolism, and damage to vital heart valves. These four causes, if not taken seriously, can pose a real threat to our hearts.
A heart attack comes suddenly, marked by crushing chest pain, while heart failure creeps in slowly, showing symptoms like disturbing shortness of breath.
Although chronic heart failure cannot be completely cured, the good news is that its symptoms can be effectively managed through a combination of appropriate medication and healthy lifestyle changes.
