The Experience Of Others Makes It Easier To Live With Congenital Heart Disease

The relaunch of “In The Blink Of An Eye” (www.michaelking.biz/congenitalheartdisease), a book on sudden death syndrome, is set to help the increasing numbers of people who are being diagnosed with congenital heart disease such as Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and the less common, Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy. Different symptoms may arise from these various different conditions such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, congestive heart failure, etc. but one thing they all have in common is that upon diagnosis, they change people’s lives. In many cases, they devastate them.

It has long been thought that the distress and fear arising from such a diagnosis can be eased by shared experience. Thus, it often helps to read about or listen to the experience of another. Today, Mike King, who suffers from Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, has an implanted cardiac defibrillator in his abdomen and has suffered a number of cardiac arrests relaunches his book “In The Blink Of An Eye.” In the book, Mike relates his experience of cardiac arrest and subsequent medical complications and then goes on to tell how every day he lives with the fear of possible sudden death. The story was described by Mark Booth at Century Press as “an amazing story” and “very well written”. Mike is an accountant who started to write after having suffered a cardiac arrest at age thirty-two. Since then he has written a number of books which can be found at http://www.michaelking.biz

For those sufferers of congenital heart disease of any type, “In The Blink Of An Eye” is the sort of personal statement that will kick-start the process of getting back on with life.
