Sudden cardiac arrest strikes about 100 male and female athletes each year. Most are between the ages of 13 and 25 years old and seven out of 10 will not have warning signs. A simple heart screening could prevent most of those deaths.
Josh Ward, detective for Lee's Summit Police Department, came to Saint Luke's Hospital of Kansas City and was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis. See how he is doing now.
