BRUGADA SYNDROME: Corey's story

In June 2016 Corey Johnson married the love of his life, Alice, in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. One week later, back home in England, Corey was playing ice hockey in south London when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. On this episode, Bill Snaddon from the BHF talks with Corey, who recalls the moment he almost died on the ice rink and the tough road to recovery in the years that have followed. As Corey says, "I've had to learn how to live again".
