Syndrome, a genetic cardiac condition that is especially dangerous for athletes because of the way it causes a response to stress on the heart.
Given her experiences with Long QT Syndrome, combined with an exemplary positive outlook relative to a life changing event, Michaela will highlight her platform, Go Red, during her year of service. Michaela has been selected by the American Heart Association to serve as a national spokesperson. Go Red acknowledges heart disease as the number one killer of women and aims to help women be aware of the facts necessary to live a healthier life. Michaela will also continue to make the public aware of sudden arrhythmia death syndromes and their lethality, and she will advocate making the existence of Automated Cardiac Defibrillators (AED’s) mandatory in public schools throughout Massachusetts.
