Heart health was never something Dani Aylsworth thought much about. The 33-year-old military veteran always figured heart problems happened to people who were much older.
But in 2017, all that changed. She came down with a case of viral pneumonia, which turned into sepsis. To help fight the potentially deadly infection, doctors placed Aylsworth into a medically induced coma. When she woke up 12 days later, she couldn’t speak or walk. Doctors told her the infection had weakened her heart and she was suffering from heart failure.
About a week and a half later, Aylsworth was able to go home to her then 8-year-old daughter, Zoe. Doctors prescribed medication, and she wore an external defibrillator vest, which detects life-threatening heart rhythms and sends an electric jolt to normalize them.
