Iowa basketball manager suffers heart attack at practice, saved by athletic trainer


An Iowa Hawkeyes basketball manager received lifesaving CPR from the team’s athletic trainer at practice earlier this month as he was suffering a heart attack. Luke Slavens, a 20-year-old sophomore at the school, felt dizzy while rebounding basketballs at practice on Jan. 12. He told the Des Moines Register on Tuesday that he was encouraged to sit down and then the next thing he knew he had someone pumping on his chest. According to the Des Moines Register, Slavens’ heart stopped between two and three minutes. Slavens was diagnosed with the disorder at 10 years old, but it rarely leads to a heart attack.
