One Beat at a Time - Living with Sudden Cardiac Death

Not many twenty eight years olds have enough life experiences to write an entertaining autobiography. Matthew D. Noble could have written three by now. Born in 1976 with an abnormal heart, he spent his formative years literally wondering if his next heartbeat would be his last. He escaped sudden cardiac death five times before the age of 18, amazing when you consider that over 95% of people who have an episode like Matthew’s don’t survive. How did he survive five? This book details the miraculous stories of how two nurses; a gym teacher, an implantable defibrillator (ICD) and an overheated car all had something to do with keeping him alive. Yet surviving wasn’t the difficult part. Learning how to live without waiting to die would be the struggle that would accompany Matthew through his teens. This is his story, an entertaining and amazing tale of courage, fulfillment, and self-realization, unlike any other.
