A Heart Stopper?
MSU coach has heart attack after OT win
Updated Sep 20, 2010 3:02 AM ET
(AP) -- Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio had a mild heart attack and was hospitalized Sunday morning, shortly after calling an audacious fake field goal to beat Notre Dame in overtime.
The 54-year-old Dantonio had surgery to put a stent in a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart. He's expected to remain in the hospital a few more days, and offensive coordinator Don Treadwell will lead the team during Dantonio's indefinite absence.
''This morning, in the very early hours, not long after the football game, coach Dantonio began experiencing some symptoms,'' said Dr. Chris D'Haem, who performed the relatively common procedure to restore blood flow. ''Fortunately, his heart damage is very minimal. He's going to do very well and we're very optimistic he'll have a full recovery.''
