Losing a child to an undiagnosed heart condition is, in so many words, heartbreaking. But doctors may be close to preventing one type of heart disease before it even starts. It's giving hope to families fighting to overcome tragedy.Lisa Pardington's son Max was training for an Iron Man competition the day she last heard his voice."I called after he had worked out and he said, 'Mom my heart is racing,'" Pardington remembers. "And those words changed my life forever."That night Max went to sleep and never woke up."It's the worst day," Pardington says. "It's every parent's nightmare and we are living it every day."Max had cardiomyopathy, a disease in which the heart muscle is abnormally enlarged, thickened or stiffened. It's often genetic and is the most common cause of sudden death in young athletes."He played all kinds of sports but never did we know that Max had a heart condition until he passed away," Pardington says.Since most school physicals don't check for it, Beaumont Health organized a free Student Heart Check where doctors and volunteers are screening teens for the disease, before it's too late."It makes you feel good about what you do because I know we have saved lives coming to these events," says Beaumont cardiologist Dr. Steven Almany.Lori Herbert lost her son Anthony to the disease, and decided to become active in the program."I know if he could he would want us to save lives," Herbert says. "Not a minute goes by that I don't think of him."Anthony was a member of the Northern Michigan University football team when he passed away."He had just come back from conditioning that morning, went to breakfast and then went back to his dorm with his roommate and was going to watch a movie before their first day of classes," Herbert says. "And that's when he became unresponsive and went into sudden cardiac arrest." First responders tried to save him but couldn't."It didn't feel real," Herbert says. "It was just a nightmare. I mean he was eight hours away from us and there was absolutely nothing we could do."Herbert says they had never heard of the screenings done at the Student Heart Check during any physicals. That's why they hope heart check events like these spread to other cities across the country. "We knew we couldn't bring Anthony back but we wanted to hopefully keep other parents from having to endure what we had to endure," Herbert says. "I'm not going to lie, I wish that we could've gotten him to a screening and still had him here with us."But what if there were a way to prevent cardiomyopathy in children in their mother's womb before it even started to develop? Doctors at the Oregon health and Science University began researching that possibility.Dr. Sanjiv Kaul worked with researchers who were able to cut out the defective gene when they fertilized an egg in a lab."Yes everybody here was surprised," says Kaul, CEO of the Knight Cardiovascular Institute. "Then the cells repaired normally by themselves. We were amazed. It's like science fiction."While it hasn't been tested in humans, Kaul says potentially all cells after that one would be free of the abnormal gene."So, theoretically, in one generation we can remove this defect from the entire generation."While there's concern this technology could be used to create so-called "designer babies," Kaul believes with regulation, the research offers hope."Talking to a parent that lost a child I would have done anything in the world to save my son's life," Pardington says.Adding one more layer to the effort to keep children healthy and alive. 3620

March 11 was a day many Americans will remember. It was the when the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a pandemic. That same day, the NBA suspended its regular season. It is also when President Donald Trump suspended non-essential travel between Europe and the United States.The world was changing quickly.Earlier in the day, the NCAA announced that its upcoming NCAA Tournament would only be played in front of a TV audience. Conference tournaments continued on that evening, but there was uncertainty on whether they would continue.The next day, the NCAA ended the college basketball season.On Wednesday, college basketball will resume, and in many ways, the situation around the coronavirus has not improved since that March day. On Tuesday, more than 2,000 people died from the coronavirus, and there are currently 88,000 hospitalized with COVID-19, according to the COVID Tracking Project.Despite the challenges of playing amid a pandemic, a majority of Division I college basketball programs are set to start the season, with the first games being played on Wednesday.It probably comes as no surprise, but the virus has already played havoc with the schedule.Games involving six Top 25 teams have been postponed or canceled for Wednesday. The most notable matchup canceled for Wednesday is the game between No. 2 Baylor and No. 18 Arizona State. Arizona State will instead play Rhode Island.College basketball is also working around government regulations. For New Mexico State, the basketball program picked up and moved to Arizona due to local restrictions.While dozens of games have been scrapped for Wednesday, the majority of scheduled contests are expected to go on, but before few if any fans in attendance. 1745

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Former Marine pilot Amy McGrath has overcome a bumpier-than-expected Kentucky primary to win the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.She fended off progressive Charles Booker to set up a big-spending showdown with Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in the fall.McConnell is seeking a seventh term.Voting ended June 23, but it took a week until McGrath could be declared the winner Tuesday due to the race’s tight margins and a deluge of mail-in ballots.The outcome seemed a certainty early in the campaign but became tenuous as Booker’s profile surged.The Black state lawmaker highlighted protests against the deaths of African Americans in encounters with police. 708

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Voters have rebuffed President Donald Trump and nominated two Republicans he opposed to House seats from North Carolina and Kentucky. In western North Carolina, GOP voters picked 24-year-old investor Madison Cawthorn over Trump-backed real estate agent Lynda Bennett. In Kentucky, Rep. Thomas Massie easily defeated his Republican challenger, Todd McMurtry. In March, when Massie held up the passage of a coronavirus stimulus bill by signaling he was a "no" on a key procedural vote, Trump called him a "grandstander" and called for his removal from the party.Calls in higher-profile races in Kentucky and New York face days of delay as officials count mail-in ballots. One of Tuesday's top races involves former Marine combat pilot Amy McGrath's fight for the Democratic nomination to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell this November. She faced a challenge from underdog progressive Democrat Charles Booker. The other involves House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel of New York, who is seeking a primary win over another progressive candidate, Jamaal Bowman. Engel is seeking a 17th House term. 1149
