Walk your Heart Out Kendra Ousley Mikaela Warren Corey Mendenhall
Why we chose American heart
YOU WANT TO KNOW?
Kendra: My father died of Aortic Aneurysm. An aneurysm is an abnormal bulge in the wall of an artery. Normally, the walls of arteries are thick and muscular, allowing them to withstand a large amount of pressure. Occasionally, however, a weak area develops in the wall of an artery. This allows the pressure within the artery to push outwards, creating a bulge or ballooned area called an "aneurysm.“This is Genetic as well.
Mikaela: Father has Iregular Heart beat, and her Grandmother has blockage of the heart.
Corey: Great Grandfather died from Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Which is is a combination of simulating the breathing of the lungs and the pumping of the heart. You should know that CPR is effective less than 30% of the time.
