a man in his 20s is being rushed to A&E
after suffering a cardiac arrest during
a game of ice hockey phone goes and says
of cardiac arrest you worry anyway for
the patient but if it's a cardiac arrest
and someone in their 20s then you are
especially worried we kind of got in the
back of your mind
this may not end well
[Music]
I just knew something was not right at
all and I just started screaming that
somebody needed to like do something
[Music]
yeah what the ambulance crew actually
actively cooled him
we went into the Opera and as we got to
the bottom of these really nice stairs
Cory just got down on one knee it's just
really pretty beautiful he did it better
than I ever could have imagined we got
married in Sicily it's just knowing that
you've always got someone
[Music]
until the patient's woken up you've got
no idea how this has affected them how
badly brain-damaged they've got whether
they're gonna be able to function
normally again and how it's gonna affect
their life long term we were just
starting our life Cory just said to me
recently that he was really really happy
just seems cruel to take it all away
from him
[Music]
it was kind of bittersweet to see that
he was breathing alive functioning but
all say he wasn't really himself or the
person I knew
[Music]
corine needed an ICD because there was a
risk that he may have another
life-threatening a cardiac arrest
basically a defibrillator implanted into
your chest so it can give you that shock
immediately
[Music]
regardez syndrome is a rare cardiac
arrhythmia which means that there's
something wrong with the way that the
heart works the disorder is very much
like a lightning bolt you can pretty
much be normal throughout your life and
then instantly have cardiac arrest you
live your life always in the shadow of
that happening and the British Heart
Foundation works with all kind of
cardiac conditions they are trying their
best to find cures for cardiac disorders
and also things that affect our arteries
in our blood supply finding a cure for
Regatta syndrome would be phenomenal I
think it would feel like a chain and a
bowl have been lifted off of me and I
would feel just fantastic
