Ronda is grateful for the immediate diagnosis and treatment she received after a sudden cardiac arrest.

Written testimony

I was immediately taken to the hospital. I was put in a medically induced coma and I woke up the next evening. And ironically enough I felt, or I knew it had to do with my heart and I don’t know how. I had been through a lot of emotional heartache over the years and I was just so thankful to be alive. I was diagnosed with at that time with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy which was later determined that I have cardiac sarcoidosis. I was implanted with an ICD at the time and put on a lot of medications which took some getting used to.
