More Information about Aiding Hearts:
Aiding Hearts raises money for both research on Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD) and seminars to educate doctors and the public about ARVD. With this, we would like to share some facts: ARVD causes 20% of the deaths of people under the age of 35 and is often difficult to detect until it is already too late. The only way to confirm the disease is with an MRI. To lower the risk of sudden death, many ARVD patients have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Moreover, most people with ARVD die before prognosis and 1/5000 people are affected by this rare disease. For those that survive, the disease is extremely debilitating and depressing due to the great physical limitations the disease imposes as well as the bleak outlook for any sort of a cure.
