Pianist collapses during concert, saved by audience and recovers to play again

A pianist and composer had a full recovery thanks to audience members and officials after collapsing while playing piano during a concert due to a lethal heart rhythm.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue (PBCFR) stated that on March 16, 40-year-old Tomer Adaddi's heart went into a lethal rhythm, leading him to collapse on his piano during a concert.

A retired nurse and doctor who were in the audience immediately started CPR while the concert organizer dialed 911, according to PBCFR.

When the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office (PBSO) deputies arrived, they took over CPR until PBCFR paramedics took over.

It was reported that after 20 minutes of stabilizing Adaddi on stage, he was transferred to Delray Medical Center, where he was diagnosed with Burgada Syndrome.

Adaddi received a defibrillator implant after spending ten days in the hospital.

Tomer expressed his gratitude by meeting with his rescuers at the PBCFR station, sharing emotional moments of reuniting with his children, and rediscovering his piano ability at his previous skill level.
