Just three years ago, a Woodlands High School varsity volleyball player was one of the best in the nation and poised for greatness. But then it happened, right there at home, in the middle of a strenuous workout, Julieta Valdez suddenly went into cardiac arrest, brought on by a hidden heart defect that no one knew she had.
– At 19 years old, six-foot-one-inches tall and incredibly strong and powerful, Julieta Valdez is a gifted volleyball player.
But then it happened, right there at home, in the middle of a strenuous workout, Julieta suddenly went into cardiac arrest, brought on by a hidden heart defect that no one knew she had.”I was pale, I wasn’t breathing, my eyes were shot. I went without a pulse for about 27 minutes. I was clinically dead,” Julieta said.
Now, she has committed herself to helping to screen teen athletes everywhere for hidden heart defects and she will be part of the “Surviving SCA Teen Heart Screen with Harris County ESD 11.″
