'I was aged 24, and dead for five minutes'
Over 80,000 people between the age of 15 to 25 could be living with an undiagnosed heart condition - that's according to estimates given to us by the British Heart Foundation.
The charity told us around 83,000 people in this age bracket have a faulty gene which puts them at an unusually high risk of developing heart disease or dying suddenly at a young age.
Many of those people with faulty genes will never have any issues with their heart, but some will only discover they've got a problem when they suffer a cardiac arrest.
William Njobvu has been to meet some of those affected.
