Television presenter Tzofit Grant, who recently celebrated her 62nd birthday, disclosed a severe medical ordeal stemming from atherosclerosis in an interview with Channel 12 News. Grant recounted the terrifying moment during her grandson Yonatan's bar mitzvah celebration when she felt her body collapsing and told her husband, singer and actor Shuli Rand, "I think I'm going to die." She experienced severe shortness of breath, feeling as though she was in heart failure and unable to breathe fully.

Despite her critical condition, Grant initially resisted seeking medical attention, only agreeing to go to the hospital after significant pressure from her husband. Upon arrival, initial tests showed no issues, but a vigilant doctor insisted on a CT scan. This scan revealed that three of her heart arteries were blocked, two of them completely, and she was on the verge of a heart attack.

Grant underwent an emergency angioplasty procedure. During the procedure, she struggled emotionally, with her cardiologist wiping away her tears and reassuring her that it was "just an angioplasty." She chose to keep her health battle private, confiding only in her husband, Shuli Rand, throughout the ordeal.
