A320 PAX HAVING A HEART ATTACK DURING CRUISE. EMER DECLARED AND FLT CREW DIVERTED TO NEAREST SUITABLE ARPT.

Narrative

THE FLT ATTENDANTS NOTIFIED ME THAT A MAN IN THE BACK WAS HAVING HEART PROBS. A DOCTOR ASSISTED THEM IN HELPING THE PAX. A FEW MINS LATER; THE FLT ATTENDANTS SAID THE MAN WAS HAVING FURTHER PROBS; BUT DIDN'T KNOW THE DETAILS. MY FO; WITH HELP FROM THE JUMP SEATER; PULLED UP THE WX IN THE AREA. A MIN LATER; THE FLT ATTENDANTS TOLD ME HE WAS HAVING A HEART ATTACK AND THE DOCTOR RECOMMENDED WE LAND IMMEDIATELY. I WAS NEAR THE ZZZ AREA. I GAVE THE AIRPLANE TO THE FO AND COMMUNICATED TO DISPATCH. HE RECOMMENDED WE LAND IN ZZZ DUE TO THE BUILDUPS IN YYY. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND DSNDED INTO ZZZ. WE WERE OVERWT AT 148800 LBS AND THE FO DID AN EXCELLENT JOB PULLING UP THE GAR PERFORMANCE. WE HAD THE PERFORMANCE AND CONTINUED TO LAND. WE FOLLOWED THE OVERWT LNDG CHKLIST. WE LANDED AND PROCEEDED TO THE COMPANY'S GATES WHERE PARAMEDICS WERE WAITING. BY THE TIME WE ARRIVED AT THE GATE; THE BRAKE TEMPS WERE ALMOST 700 DEGS. THE GND PEOPLE CHOCKED THE ACFT AND I RELEASED THE BRAKES TO COOL THEM. WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMP COOLING WITH THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH; THEY BEGAN TO COOL. WE ALSO CONTACTED MAINT AND DISPATCH ON THE GND AND RECEIVED A NEW FLT PLAN AND MAINT RELEASE FOR THE OVERWT LNDG.
