Dave Ogle beat the odds. The Woodbury man’s heart stopped seven years ago while he was at home watching TV. His wife Kris Patrow was able to perform CPR until paramedics arrived. And then he was rushed to one of the few hospitals in the world that was pioneering new techniques that could restore blood flow to his lifeless body. MPR News host Angela Davis talks with Ogle and Patrow about his recovery, and with a cardiologist about the importance of CPR and why Minnesota has some of the best cardiac arrest survival rates in the country. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/mpr-news-with-angela-davis-239489/episodes/a-woodbury-man-s-race-to-survive-after-cardiac-arrest/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/mpr-news-with-angela-davis-239489/a-woodbury-man-s-race-to-survive-after-cardiac-arrest.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
