OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — "I was feeling off," she recalls.
For Tracy Corwin, listening to her body might have saved her life. She's now using her experience to encourage and empower other women.
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women. Corwin experienced a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD.
Instead of brushing off her physical discomfort, Corwin asked her family to take her to the hospital. "I think about that often. Like, what if I would've just went to sleep? Like, gone upstairs and went to bed? I don't know if I would be here," she said.
Corwin is the 2025 featured survivor at Omaha's Go Red for Women. When she takes the stage at the event, she'll ask other women to prioritize their own health and well-being.
