Aaron and Alessandra Dinin know because Dr. Salim Idriss saved their daughter's life.
When Adeline was born, she was experiencing irregular heartbeats. The doctors assured them it was probably no big deal. Just to be safe, they took their baby to Duke Children’s. There, Dr. Idriss, a pediatric electrophysiologist, realized their daughter had Long QT Syndrome — a rare, “sudden arrhythmic death syndrome” that is difficult to detect because the first symptom is usually death.
Had it not been for Duke Children’s, chances are they would have taken their daughter home thinking she was perfectly healthy … only to find her dead in her crib one morning.
“Because of Dr. Idriss, we can help protect her so she has a much better chance of living a long, happy, healthy life. It’s miraculous, and it’s thanks to the incredible doctors at Duke Children’s.”
– Aaron Dinin
