Children With Rare Heart Condition Cautious About Missing a Beat
Audrey Koch, a resilient teenager from Roswell, GA, has faced a lifetime of challenges due to a life-threatening heart condition called Long QT Syndrome. At just four days old, she underwent her first surgery to have a pacemaker implanted to prevent cardiac arrest. Since then, Audrey has endured many cardiac events, seven surgeries, and is on her fifth implantable pacemaker/cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Despite these challenges, Audrey remains positive and is an inspiration to those who meet her. Audrey, her mother Amanda and Children’s pediatric cardiologist Dr. Peter Fischbach interviewed with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution to share her health journey.
