Olivia Cheung, who was 19 when her heart stopped beating for 63 minutes, shares experiences to educate public about intensive care treatments
More than a decade ago, Hongkonger Olivia Cheung Lok-man’s heart stopped beating for 63 minutes.
She was a 19-year-old student at the time and had suffered a fulminant myocarditis attack, a rare and severe illness that can cause heart failure.
Cheung, now a 30-year-old art teacher, has since developed the ability to cope with the uncertainties surrounding her condition, thanks to the special care of the medical team at Queen Mary Hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU).
