Details emerge on Jenny Simpson's cardiac arrest

Jenny Simpson, a U.S. Olympic distance runner, experienced a cardiac arrest during a local race, leading to her diagnosis with a rare genetic condition called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). She collapsed after a one-mile run and was saved by on-site medical responders who used CPR and an AED, but her condition required her to receive a pacemaker and defibrillator, ending her running career. Simpson survives and lives with the device, but she can no longer compete due to the risks associated with her heart condition.
