What happened to Joaquín Levinton?
Levinton suffered an acute myocardial infarction during the early hours of Friday, December 12, 2025, while he was performing at a bar on Dorrego Avenue, in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. The episode occurred around 12:45 a.m., when the musician began to experience severe chest pain.
According to Alberto Crescenti, head of the Emergency Medical Care System (SAME), the singer "suffered cardiac decompensation with hypotension and sweating," symptoms that immediately triggered the emergency protocol. The venue's staff requested medical assistance, and an ambulance arrived at the scene in just seven minutes, a key factor for timely care.
Levinton was rushed to Hospital Fernández, where he was admitted under medical observation. As the hours passed, it was confirmed that he underwent a stent placement procedure, an intervention that was performed successfully.
