I was 40, female, athletic, diagnosed with HCM at age 24. It was a hot summer day, July 17, 2002, and I keeled over in in v-fib in a busy area of Richland, WA. I was near an ambulance, a 911 call was made, I was defibrillated, and after a day in a coma came back to good physical and intellectual health. I had a second episode 2 years later, on my bike, Sept. 13, 2004, a cool fall day, and my ICD revived me immediately.
