We coached Sid���s heart
back to health.
Last year, 79-year old Sid Dambrot collapsed from
sudden cardiac arrest. His heart stopped beating
so long, he had only a 2% chance of a full recovery.
���They rushed him to Summa��� said his son Keith
Dambrot, head coach of The University of Akron
basketball team. ���The cardiac team lowered his
body temperature to protect his brain. 28 days later,
he came out of the coma. His recovery has been
astonishing.��� Later, a Summa electrophysiologist
implanted a defibrillator in Sid���s chest to prevent
future heart rhythm problems. ���If we didn���t have
the level of sophistication that Summa has, my
dad wouldn���t be here today.��� That���s more than
healthcare. That���s smartcare. To watch the rest
