Had 7 Cardiac Arrests over 11 Days – Experts Suspect Virus Caused Heart Inflammation
A 22-year-old woman from Eglinton, County Londonderry suddenly collapsed while out for lunch with her friends.
Aoife Boyle, who has no family history of heart conditions, suffered seven cardiac arrests in eleven days after collapsing during lunch with her friends in a pub last month.
“Aoife was meeting her friends for lunch at a pub, they just got in through the door, they didn’t even make it to sit down, and the next thing she just collapsed and started taking seizures,” Aoife’s mother, Tanya Boyle told BBC News NI.
“They rang me straight away, telling me to just get there quick.”
