Dover Public Library Holds Program on Cardiac Arrest and Recovery

Gwen Rummell Reporting –

Cardiac arrest and recovery will be the topic of an upcoming Dover Public Library program.

Korey Loughry will detail his survival of multiple sudden cardiac arrests following a “widow maker” heart attack. Loughry’s experience will be shared through his book I Was Arrested: A Candid Memoir of One Cardiac Arrest Survivor. A book signing follows the program.

Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating due to an electrical problem, with common symptoms including lack of breathing, unconsciousness, and no pulse. Without immediate CPR or defibrillation intervention, death will occur.

The program will be held on Thursday, January 25th at 6:30pm in library’s Community Room, and also speaking will be Kari Klaserner, Coordinator of Outpatient Cardiovascular Pulmonary Rehabilitation at Cleveland Clinic Union Hospital, to share facts about cardiac arrest, nutrition, and prevention. Multiple local resources will also be provided.

Registration is required and can be completed online at www.doverlibrary.org/events or by calling the library at 330-343-6123.
