Project S.A.V.E.: Claire’s story

When 17-year-old Claire Crawford went into sudden cardiac arrest during a high school volleyball game, she was fortunate to have trained teachers and staff there to save her life.

As Claire's family learned more about her previously undiagnosed heart condition, they also learned the incident occurred in the best case scenario. She needed to go into V-fib in a place where people could quickly respond and have access to a working AED, and where she would be surrounded by people who were prepared to access vital signs and start CPR.

So happy for her and her family. The AD, J Sirmans, seems to love Claire as much as her parents. So nice.

There definitely seems to be some medical negligence involved in the development of this situation. Claire had been having symptoms for months. They were a group of symptoms that can present in a person who is experiencing myocardial ischemia (inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscles). She even told her doctor that she thought there might be a problem with her heart. But her doctor refused to order any tests for heart condition/heart function. Instead, he referred her for physical therapy.

I hope Claire's doing great nowadays.

Parents should inspect gym facilities before activities for AEDs and cancel or delay an activity if one is not present. Students play at a very high level of performance and every step should be taken to ensure their safety.

There's a story of a TEEN with HEART!  That's not a joke.

What was that undiagnosed condition of heart

[johnnyflores]

I believed she had coronary artery disease the symptoms were ignored for a while plus the wrong kind of tests were performed she also might have had a condition with her heart that caused her to go into VFib hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Can't help thinking this is some fake news infomercial, they talk about everything except what caused her heart attack. No idea if she is doing well because they don't give any details. in other vids sounds like she was having pain from her heart for months, they say all that, but don't say why or what treatment she had. So sounds a little suspicious no? You would think they would follow up a bit.
