Michigan State Coach Has Heart Attack Shortly After Beating* Notre Dame

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio was hospitalized Sunday after suffering a mild heart attack shortly after an overtime victory against Notre Dame.

The 54-year-old Dantonio was taken to Sparrow Hospital hours after the game and had surgery to put a stent in a blocked blood vessel leading to the heart, which allowed blood flow to be restored. The coach is expected to remain in the hospital for at least a few more days.

"Damage to the heart muscle was minimal. I think he's going to do very well," said Dr. Chris D'Haem, who performed the relatively common procedure.

"This is a time for Spartan Nation to rally around Coach D and the football program," Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said. "We all look forward to his return to the sidelines. The thoughts of the entire Spartan family are with Coach D, his wife Becky and his daughters Kristen and Lauren."
